How can I give a dog banlangen (isatis root)?
If you give a dog banlangen, use about half the child dose, but it is not generally recommended since it is a human drug. Use pet cold medicine instead.
My cat sneezes often, now stuffy nose, warm ears/paws, licks nose in sleep, eats/plays normally, occasional cough, frequent grooming, congested sounds, reddish-brown eye discharge
Stuffy nose with warm ears/paws suggests feline rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, or mycoplasma with fever (over 39.5 C). Try pet cold medicine (amoxicillin-clavulanate, doxycycline), add lysine and vitamins, clean face, and see a vet if no relief.
My Border Collie Has a Hacking Cough but Good Spirits, Then Vomited White Mucus After a Bark; Parvo and Distemper Tests Are Negative. What Now?
With negative parvo and distemper, the cough and white mucus point more to respiratory infection like pharyngitis or bronchitis, or a swallowed foreign object stuck in the throat causing irritation. Try pet anti-inflammatories for 2-3 days; see a vet if no improvement.
Sneezing with no obvious nasal discharge and no cough
Sneezing alone is usually minor; watch and ventilate, and check the nose for hair or foreign matter. Cold air can trigger it, so keep the cat warm and fed. If sneezing and runny nose later appear, give pet cold or antibiotic medicine.
My dog is sniffling, possibly chilled — ate this morning, drank at noon, now refuses food and wants to sleep, even when I pry its mouth open. I suspect a cold and gave a quarter dose of compound isatis root powder; now asleep and sneezing less. Stools were broken this morning and noon. What should I do?
Based on your description, the sneezing, loss of appetite, and sleepiness may be a cold. Keep the dog warm and give pet cold medicine such as Punoshu and doxycycline hydrochloride tablets, then watch for improvement. If symptoms persist or worsen, take the dog to a veterinary hospital for examination and treatment.
~2-month puppy: started with yellow mucus, vomited kibble, gave Sanhuang pills, better; 2-3 days later repeated, gave glucose and gentamicin, vomits morning kibble with convulsions (legs up), good appetite but poor state.
Yellow mucus, vomiting, convulsions, lethargy may be flu, distemper, or parasites; an unvaccinated 2-month pup is at high risk. See a vet. Distemper needs antivirals + antiemetic/antibiotics/nutrition; flu+gut issues use amoxicillin-clavulanate/doxycycline and gentamicin+probiotics; deworm if parasitic.
New dog had dry nose, harsh cough, cool ears, soft stool
A new dog with dry nose, harsh cough, and cool ears may not just have a cold; suspect distemper or kennel cough. Many pups come from messy breeding with disease, sometimes suppressed by stimulants so they look fine, then crash in days, the so-called weekend dog that often dies within 7 days. Screen for viruses first; if only a cold, use doxycycline or amoxicillin-clavulanate.
Coughing and runny nose
A coughing, runny dog may have a chill or infections like distemper or parainfluenza. If severe and unvaccinated, screen for infectious disease first. If it is only a common cold, give anti-inflammatory and cough medicine such as amoxicillin-clavulanate, doxycycline, or herbal cough formulas. For distemper, follow the vet.
My cat has repeated colds for over half a year; tests show mycoplasma infection that won’t heal
Feline mycoplasma can be treated with doxycycline, tylosin, or florfenicol. If severe, check for secondary pneumonia. Mycoplasma treatment is long and relapse-prone, so seek targeted veterinary care. Regularly disinfect the environment, keep it ventilated, keep the cat warm when seasons change, and add nutrition.
