A dog that gets soaked in the rain can fall ill. Wet fur that is not dried promptly leaves the dog prone to colds, fever, and skin infections, and short-haired and young dogs are especially vulnerable.

Beagles and Poodles are among the higher-risk breeds. Signs include bloody discharge, congestion, sneezing, double vision, and facial numbness. See a vet promptly for diagnosis and staging-based treatment.
