How long does it take for a Labrador to recover from a cold?

A Labrador’s cold can usually be cured within a week. If the dog has a strong constitution, it may recover on its own without any medication within that time. But if the dog is weak or the symptoms are severe, the owner should consult a veterinarian promptly and give medication to prevent the condition from worsening.

If the cold is caused by chills, keeping the dog warm and encouraging it to drink more water will generally let it recover quickly on its own.
