Common Causes, Symptoms and Treatment of Pet Colds
Pets catch colds easily — usually from chills (season changes, baths, drafts, rain, cold floors) or low resistance. A plain cold can worsen into something serious, so treat it early. Never give human cold medicine (acetaminophen is toxic to dogs and cats); use pet-specific drugs. Learn the warning signs that separate a cold from pneumonia, rhinitis, feline herpesvirus (cat flu) or distemper.

Yellow watery stool can mean feline distemper, especially in unvaccinated cats, but also bacterial gastroenteritis, parasites, or indigestion. Learn to tell these conditions apart.
What happens when a Bichon Frise catches canine distemper?
In the early stage of distemper, a Bichon usually shows fever, increased eye and nasal discharge, coughing, reduced appetite, and lethargy. As the virus affects more organs, it may develop rapid breathing, worse coughing, diarrhea, vomiting, and bloody stool. In the late stage, distemper often attacks the nervous system, causing convulsions, ataxia (unsteady gait), and seizures, which can lead to coma and death without timely treatment.
What are the symptoms of myocarditis in a puppy?

Cat won’t eat and vomits; blood test showed white cells not decreased, but the virus test is positive for feline distemper

My dog has vomited yellow foam for half a month and was told it has chronic distemper; it still vomits and is weak – what should I do?
Confirmed distemper needs antiviral monoclonal antibodies and interferon, antibiotics for secondary infection and symptomatic care. Early antivirals help; see a proper clinic.
Why does canine distemper virus relapse?
Relapse a month after recovery usually means treatment was incomplete; stopping too early lets the virus replicate. Low immunity and poor nutrition after infection also trigger relapse.
