If a puppy has symptoms of a cold (runny nose, coughing, sneezing), you need to get them antibiotics. Unfortunately dogs won't get better without treatment in a couple of days like humans do, as a simple cold can even turn into a pneumonia. We recommend Synulox tablets which you should be able to purchase at the vet pharmacy, it contains amoxycillin to which our puppies usually react very well. If you can't get it, please visit your vet to prescribe it as soon as possible, there's no point in waiting.  Unfortunately dogs can catch a cold at any time of the year, in the winter because of the cold, in the summer because of the air conditioner. We don't let our puppies travel even if they have mild symptoms, we rather postpone the flight and cure them first. If you receive your puppy with a runny nose, that means they caught it on the flight. Please give your puppy the antibiotics right away so that they can get better soon. If you have any question regarding the health of your TomKings Frenchie, please send it to health@tomkingskennel.com and we’ll forward it to our vet!
