It took medicine and got a shot, the coughing eased, but today its energy is low, it won’t eat kibble, and it keeps making sneezing sounds
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.

See a vet if possible; if not, clean with saline, give oral and topical anti-inflammatories, and use an E-collar, then watch for improvement.
What happens if a hamster touches water?
Hamsters are naturally afraid of water and may be startled when they touch it, reacting with squeaking or fleeing. Second, their fur dries very slowly; if the temperature is low, evaporation can lower the hamster's body temperature and raise the risk of colds, pneumonia, and other respiratory diseases. Finally, prolonged contact with water or being soaked through can cause skin inflammation, matted fur, and fungal or bacterial infection. In daily care, avoid letting a hamster directly touch large amounts of water; if its fur is oily, use special hamster bath sand to clean it.
