What Causes a Dog’s Runny Nose
As the weather cools, keep your dog warm - dogs get runny noses just like people do. Most often it is just a chill: a warm indoor spot, a cozy bed, and some cold care or cold medicine clears it up. But a runny nose can also signal distemper or parvovirus, both deadly, so take those seriously and see a vet at once if suspected. A quick home check: feel the nose. A moist nose usually means the runny nose is from cold weather (a healthy dog's nose is cool and damp when awake); a dry nose with tearing and fever points to a cold. Distemper shows as swinging temperature, heavy eye discharge, thick nasal discharge, cough, cloudy corneas, low spirits, bloody stool, and vomiting, while parvovirus brings tar-like black stool (blood), dehydration, violent sometimes bloody vomiting, and can lead to heart inflammation.
What oral medication is best for canine adenovirus type 2 and canine mycoplasma?
This mixed infection needs antivirals and antibiotics to relieve signs and prevent secondary infection; adenovirus type 2 causes infectious bronchitis treated symptomatically with cough/expectorant/anti-inflammatory drugs and electrolytes.

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.
