Our dog caught a cold; my dad accidentally gave a second dose of cold medicine after I already gave one; what should I do?
If a double dose was given, first consult the prescribing vet about the drug name and safe dosage. An overdose can damage the liver and kidneys or cause poisoning; a slightly higher dose is usually fine but monitor closely.
What happens when a small bird gets cold?
A cold bird is listless, still, runny-nosed, shivering, mouth-breathing, and coughing, sometimes with diarrhea and poor appetite. Birds are sensitive to sudden temperature changes; bring them indoors in spring/autumn and treat colds in winter.
How long after a puppy’s cold can it be bathed?
Wait about a week after a puppy recovers from a cold before bathing, since its constitution is weak and bathing risks stress and illness. Never bathe an unvaccinated puppy.

The photo shows a weak, thin cat with eye/nose discharge and rough coat in a loaf position - severe abdominal discomfort, likely sick long. Get a hospital check; could be chronic GI disease, fatty liver, triaditis, FIP. Long fasting risks fatty liver; syringe-feed easily digested food.
Today my cat suddenly vomited yellow fluid, then after probiotics still vomited. I read online that cats can also vomit from cold; what does cold-induced vomiting look like?
A cat that vomits from cold usually stays energetic and may also have diarrhea. Move it somewhere warm, fast and withhold water for a day, and give pet anti-emetic cimetidine tablets. If it recovers, offer small frequent meals; if vomiting worsens, see a vet.
How often should a puppy be given cold medicine?
Puppy cold medicine is usually twice a day, every half day, but type and interval depend on severity, so consult a vet and never dose blindly. If symptoms persist or worsen, see a vet.
My hamster keeps retching and shivering with a cold body.
Retching and shivering in a hamster have several causes. First, an overstuffed cheek pouch can make it spit food out when grabbed or too full; this is normal, but clear leftovers so they do not spoil.
I have a roughly 5-month-old large black puppy that eats anything. Three days ago it came home trembling; I thought it was cold. It stopped eating and only drank water. Today it returned weak and could barely walk, with cold paws and a stiff body. My relative thinks it ate rat poison and forced salt water down its throat. Its tongue looked pale and it drooled. Will it survive the night? What illness is this?
If the puppy is normally free-roaming, the cause could be poisoning, cold weather, low blood sugar, pain or an infectious disease. Check the temperature and move it indoors to keep warm, and observe its diet, temperature, nose, stool, energy and vomiting to narrow down the cause and treat accordingly.
How long does it take a Samoyed to recover from a cold?
Recovery time depends on severity and constitution. A mild cold may self-heal in 2 to 3 days, but a serious or weak one needs prompt treatment to avoid worsening. With timely care, a Samoyed usually recovers within a week.
