My 6 month old Cooper (just neutered 10 days ago) seems to have caught a cold(?) because he sneezes and has a runny nose that, when I try to dry, has a pinkish color to it (not his nose....the runny part). Took him to the vet and he had no temperature, his lungs were clear, and she was flumoxed a bit and then thought it could be allergies......to keep an eye on him and see if his healthy body just fights this. Has anyone encountered a puppy getting a cold or sinus? Any suggestions? Thanks a bunch.
Re: Puppy with a cold or allergies Hi Yvonne,I can't help you from my own experience with a lab but my Mum had this with a spaniel once....it was a grass seed stuck up a nostril.....I guess this was considered by your vet though ? Best wishes Angela
Re: Puppy with a cold or allergies I think Chepi had a cold a couple of weeks ago, she had a little runny nose and kept blowing her nose; one big sneeze pushed out a huge splat. My vet didn't have any ideas and Chepi's heart, lungs and temperature were ok. It lasted about a week and just went.
Re: Puppy with a cold or allergies Penny has had a bit of a dry cough the last couple of days so there could be something going around... Where she got it from I have no idea as she hasn't been up close and personal with another dog for a while (I know, mean! But it's all part of her training!) Could just be the time of year, or as it's been so warm and muggy lately perhaps the pollen count is high again?
