Methods to treat and prevent colds in poodles:
Colds are the most common disease for Poodles. It is common for Poodles to catch a cold after taking a bath or in the cold winter. After catching a cold, Poodles will become depressed, their eyes will be half-open, and they like to have tears and runny noses. There will be sneezing and a fever. Poodles will lose their appetite after catching a cold, and if effective treatment is not obtained for a long time, it may lead to more serious consequences.
Treatment methods
Generally, colds in poodles are not serious, and breeders do not need to rush to send their poodles to the pet hospital. After following the veterinarian's permission, you can perform simple treatments such as Bupleurum injection 1-2 ml, intramuscular injection, 2 times a day; penicillin 50,000 units/kg body weight, intramuscular injection, 2 times a day.
If it is found that the poodle’s cold has not been cured for a long time and the condition is getting worse, then the poodle is likely to have been harmed by other diseases. At this time, the breeder should still send the poodle to the clinic for effective treatment. To avoid delaying treatment time and causing more serious consequences.
Prevention:
To prevent colds in winter, the main thing is to pay attention to keeping warm and cold. When the weather is cold and windy, don’t take your dog out for a walk easily. If you choose to go out for a walk, you also need to put on cold and warm clothes for your poodle. Do not feed cold food to your poodle in winter. Try to allow the dog to eat the food while it is hot within half an hour of each meal. At the same time, the drinking water prepared for your poodle should be warm water.
Spring and autumn are also seasons when poodles are prone to colds. The temperature difference between day and night will be relatively large in spring and autumn, so you need to pay attention to the life management of Poodles. Spring is also a period when viruses and bacteria multiply actively. It is very important to appropriately restrict the dog’s movements, reduce the dog’s going out, and prohibit access to sick dogs.
