Expert Answer

A puppy’s cough is usually caused by a respiratory infection, with main causes including chills, viral infection, bacterial infection, and insufficient immunity. If the cough improves but the puppy then shows reduced appetite and sneezing, it means the illness isn’t fully recovered; keep the dog warm first, then take it to a veterinary clinic for a recheck promptly.

In addition, because a puppy’s immunity is weak and it usually isn’t fully vaccinated before two months, it is recommended to focus on screening for viral infectious diseases such as distemper and canine parainfluenza.
