Cold Symptoms:
Cause]
This disease is mainly due to the improper management of the dog, suddenly suffered from cold stimulation. Such as poor conditions of the kennel, winter cold protection measures are not strict, by the thief wind attack; off the raised dog suddenly in the cold under the dew; exercise after the rain wind; or kennel damp and cold, are prone to this disease.

Respiration is accelerated, with increased cystic lung sounds, and in some cases vesicular sounds may be heard. Pulse rate increases to about 80-100 beats per minute, and heart sounds are enhanced. Body temperature rises, mostly above 39~40℃, heat type is variable, often with chills and trembling phenomenon. Timely treatment; quickly cured; if the treatment is not timely, the puppy is secondary bronchitis and bronchopneumonia.

Based on the symptoms of coughing, nasal discharge, elevated body temperature, skin temperature irregularities, combined with the history of the disease can be diagnosed. However, it must be distinguished from influenza. Influenza is caused by the virus, the onset of acute, epidemic occurrence, high fever. In addition to the symptoms of influenza, accompanied by conjunctivitis and gastrointestinal kata.
[Treatment]
The principle of treatment is to remove the cause of the disease, antipyretic and analgesic, to prevent and eliminate secondary diseases.
Antipyretic and analgesic:
Antipyretic and analgesic can be used in the early stage of the disease, and can be very effective. Such as subcutaneous or intramuscular injection of anandamide solution or analgin solution. You can also take paracetamol, finasteride, somatropin, painkillers and so on.

How to recognize a dog's true cold
The cold is a whole-body symptom mainly characterized by inflammation of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract. However, in clinical practice, the early symptoms of many infectious diseases are very similar to those of a cold. Such as the early symptoms of canine fevers, the early symptoms of microvirus disease, etc., in the clinic is generally characterized by elevated body temperature, sneezing, shyness and tears, running nasal fluid and other symptoms. Therefore, it is very difficult to distinguish when encountering this situation, it is because of this, so that many livestock owners are prone to common several infectious diseases "cold", when the puppy appeared these symptoms, always think it is a general cold and ignored as soon as possible treatment, which also triggered a number of serious consequences. Colds usually occur in early spring, late fall and when there is a sudden change in climate. The cause of the disease is mostly due to improper management, suddenly suffered a cold stimulus, such as winter thieves wind invasion, cold season camping, by the rain, the kennel wet, now clinically also seen in the dog after bathing. The mucosal defense ability of the respiratory tract is reduced, so that the normal colonies continue to multiply, which can also lead to this disease. Symptoms, the sick dog's spirit is depressed, appetite is reduced or abolished, conjunctiva flushing, eyes are shy and tearful. Coughing usually occurs, with a flow of syrupy nasal fluid, accelerated respiration, and enhanced alveolar sounds can sometimes be heard on chest auscultation. Heart sounds are enhanced, body temperature is elevated, chills and trembling, and skin temperature is uneven (usually cold ears and hot at the base of the ear and on the inside of the membrane). The prognosis is good, but if left untreated it is followed by bronchitis, bronchiolitis, etc. Influenza is caused by a virus and occurs in epidemics with high fever. In addition to having more than cold symptoms, often accompanied by conjunctivitis and intestinal kata.
"False" colds are generally more common in the early stages of infectious diseases, in addition to having many of the above symptoms, there are other special symptoms. When a puppy is infected with canine febrile virus and the onset of the disease, the temperature is generally two-way fever (temperature when sued when the first), most of the sick dogs have the symptoms of raw eye boogers appeared, and is the prognosis is poor. The early stage of the virus, some also have "cold" symptoms, but the virus disease mainly to vomit, diarrhea as the main symptom, and generally is the first vomit and then diarrhea.
It's best not to use human cold medicine for puppy colds, or it may cause the puppy's condition to worsen. Puppy resistance is very weak, to prevent puppy cold, or pay attention to keep it warm. At night it is best to give it a lamp to sleep, because the weather in May is still relatively large temperature difference, the night is still a little cold.
The cold is an acute systemic disease in which inflammation of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract is the main symptom. It occurs most often in the season of climate change.
Suddenly suffered a cold stimulus, excessive fatigue, long-distance transportation, malnutrition and other factors, so that the body's resistance is reduced, especially the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract defense function, the respiratory tract is often a large number of bacteria reproduction, and cause the disease.
Symptoms:
--Sudden onset, depression, loss of appetite, conjunctival flushing, shyness and tearing, elevated body temperature. Watery nasal discharge, often accompanied by coughing, increased number of breaths, increased alveolar breath sounds, sometimes audible vesicular sounds.
Treatment:
--Apply antipyretic agents, such as intramuscular anandamide, analgin, and also internal paracetamol and finasteride. To prevent secondary infection, antibiotic therapy can be used.
Canine distemper: distemper treatments and successful cases
The following was found by me from an internet search. A big thank you to the author of the original article!
Distemper must be treated by a doctor as early as possible, and if you are unfortunate enough to contract the virus, it can be completely cured with the use of immune serums and antimicrobials in the early stages of the disease. Whether hospitalized or treated at home, a warm and dry environment needs to be prepared for it. Most importantly, your dog should be vaccinated as a puppy, avoid going outside during an epidemic, and never come into contact with sick dogs, their feces, or vomit.
There is no effective drug treatment for this disease. When the sick dog shows obvious symptoms, the prognosis is poor, even if a few sick dogs have endured, but also more sequelae. In general, specific and symptomatic therapy is adopted to prevent secondary infection and reduce death. In the early stage of the disease, subcutaneous or intramuscular injection of anti-distemper high immune serum can receive better results. The dosage of serum is 2-3ml per kilogram of body weight, and it is applied continuously for 2-3 days. In order to control secondary infection can be used broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment, such as kanamycin, erythromycin, chloramphenicol, gentamicin and so on. To improve circulation and prevent dehydration, glucose solution and electrolytes should be given in large quantities. Cooperate with anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs. At the same time the use of cardiotonic, diuretic, hemostatic drugs for comprehensive treatment, in order to protect the gastrointestinal tract can also be orally tannin and bismuth subnitrate.
Canine distemper is a common highly contact viral infection, mainly through the respiratory tract, is caused by the virus. The lethality is very high, to the middle and late stages of the disease when the treatment is very bacteria difficult. Nowadays, the general use of serum antibody treatment in the early stage of the disease has a certain effect, once the disease to the middle and late stage of the effect is very poor. Therefore, I think there is no need for you to use serum anymore, and you should use infusion therapy and high doses of antibiotics, sedatives, and antiviral drugs. In addition, you should strengthen the care, use antibiotic eye drops for the eyes, and some antibiotics for the nasal cavity to make it moist can be used. Treatment: Vancomycin 1 stub/dose, 3 times a day; Virazole 2 stubs/dose, 3 times a day; Vitamin C 1 stub/dose, 3 times a day. Nursing care: daily feeding glucose water, appropriate to put a small amount of salt, in addition to the water to add the Panax quinquefolium, each time should be a small amount, the number of appropriate more, can be every 2 hours for a time. If the convulsions are severe can be injected sedative, or oral valium (1/3-1/2 of the human dose). Eye drops are used 7-8 times daily. However, it is difficult to achieve good results because it is already in the middle to late stages.
Canine distemper prevention and control methods:
(1) Canine distemper must be preventive, good vaccination.
(2) Do a good job of disinfection and isolation to prevent the expansion and spread of the epidemic.
(3) Early should be a large number of application of high immune serum, or immune globulin, strong canine Kang, interferon, monoclonal antibodies and other good emergency passive immunization.
(4) symptomatic treatment: the initial anti-infection, anti-virus, anti-shock drugs: such as ampicillin sodium, cefazolin sodium, small nosocomial, kanamycin, canine disease Kang, viral azole, Shuanghuanglian, Chingkailing, Wei Gang, Li Gang, pets, pets, wear Hu Ning, dexamethasone, myocardial liver, coenzyme A and vitamins, rehydration fluid and other drugs. Inject it into the muscle or inject it into the body. (Dosage is based on body weight and drug instructions.)
(5) blood transfusion: take the whole blood of the recovered dogs that have suffered from canine distemper and transfuse it intravenously to the affected dogs. (The blood groups must be compatible.) In the early and middle stages of the disease, blood transfusion therapy is taken, together with infusion and anti-infection treatment, the cure rate is high. In the late stage of canine distemper, dehydration is serious and the body is in a state of exhaustion, blood transfusion, cardiac strengthening, fluid rehydration, oral rehydration . Can also save.
(6) the late stage of canine distemper, neurological symptoms, the application of the above treatments, often does not work, with traditional Chinese medicine "distemper Ling Tang" (canine distemper drawback No. 2) antelope horn injections, niu huang anong pills and other drugs .
(7) acupuncture: it is best to use the Tianmen, Renzhong, the fate of the door, Tao Tao, the big cone and other points.
Now it is the peak season of canine distemper epidemic, come to the clinic more affected dogs, the use of Chinese and Western medicine combination of methods of prevention and treatment of canine distemper, received a more satisfactory results.

Successful case 2:
It is generally believed that once a dog gets distemper, he won't survive, but I think it may not be that serious. Here is my experience in curing my puppy from distemper.
The bulldog puppy, less than 2 months old, was sold to me cheaply by a dog trader, and I later realized that the puppy had distemper. The puppy had stopped eating & drinking and was extremely weak. I carried it to the pet hospital to see a doctor, but the doctors said it was hopeless and didn't even bother to take a second look. But I refused to give up and bought some medicine and shots from the vet hospital to go home and treat it myself.
I put tablets crushed against water in a syringe (uneasy needle) and poured it down the puppy's mouth every day, and also since the puppy had stopped eating, I gave it glucose water every day in this way. And of course gave it quite a few shots.
Because of my careful care, the puppy is also very tenacious, and then surprisingly gradually able to eat on their own. I fed it cabbage leaves, which it loved. I later learned from medical information that the puppy's diet of cabbage played a big role in its recovery.
Beginning of the puppy still have asthma, coughing phenomenon, many people said that this dog even if living will leave sequelae, (refers to asthma, coughing phenomenon). But it turns out that there are no after-effects left, and now this puppy is one of the strongest dogs we have here.
I would like to remind everyone that many domestic pet hospitals are actually professional, and this industry is also a chaotic management of a very part of the formal industry. Many doctors are not very responsible for the animals. Often times it is the owners who can really save the animals.
