Bichon Frise Coughing After a Cold: What to Do
The Bichon Frise is a common small dog that is usually sturdy as an adult, but if a cold turns into a persistent cough it may mean a secondary infection or even a viral infection. Here are the causes and solutions for a Bichon that keeps coughing after a cold.
I bathed the kitten at home once, then noticed yellow nasal discharge and bad breath. Is this a cold or feline rhinotracheitis?
Rhinotracheitis causes sneezing, runny nose, lethargy, fever, poor appetite, red eyes, and sometimes mouth ulcers, with clear then yellow-green discharge. If only runny nose with normal spirit and appetite, it's likely a bacterial infection from chill. Try pet cold and anti-inflammatory medicine.
Cat has increased eye discharge for many days and a warm nose at night
Dark eye discharge with a warm nose may be calicivirus, herpesvirus, or mycoplasma. If the cat is otherwise normal, try anti-inflammatory medicine plus daily cleaning and antibiotic eye drops; if appetite or spirit drops, see a vet.
What medication is used to treat mycoplasma infection in cats?
Mycoplasma infection in cats requires dedicated anti-inflammatory medication, with doxycycline being a common treatment. Spleen aminopeptide, an immune regulator, can help boost the cat's immunity and support recovery. Always follow your veterinarian's advice, as treatment usually takes a long course.
My two-month-old puppy sneezes and has clear nasal discharge but normal appetite and energy; is it a cold, what should I do, does it need medicine?
With normal energy and appetite, clear sneezing discharge may indeed be a chill or cold; pet cold and anti-inflammatory medicine plus warmth and nutrition can help. Observe 3-5 days, and if it worsens or fever appears, rule out distemper or kennel cough at the vet.
What medication should be used to treat a dog’s otitis media?

My two-month-old neutered Teddy ate rehydrated duck freeze-dry at 8pm, coughed, I gave a little amoxicillin; at midnight more cough, more amoxicillin and duck, then refused food; now sudden violent cough and green loose stool—what is wrong?
Cough suggests upper respiratory infection from chill, bacteria, or virus; green loose stool means gut trouble, possibly virus or parasites. With multiple signs, see a vet at once. If not, symptomatic care with an anti-inflammatory cough herbal tablet and doxycycline, probiotics, then deworm; if no improvement, it is serious.
What to Do If a Dog Has a Runny Nose After a Bath
A runny nose after a bath usually means the dog caught a chill. Some dogs dislike baths and their immunity drops, so in low temperatures they catch colds. What should you do? Our pet care specialists answer.
My dog has coughed with phlegm, sneezed, had a fever, and yellow dried nasal discharge for two weeks—X-ray shows pneumonia. What now?
With pneumonia, oral meds are poorly absorbed—better to go to the hospital for IV, injections, and nebulization. Puppies need infectious disease screening (distemper can cause pneumonia, needing interferon/monoclonal antibodies). Bacterial pneumonia: do a sensitivity test, then use amoxicillin, cefotaxime, doxycycline by weight. Poor appetite: glucose-saline IV. Lots of phlegm: aminophylline to open airways.
My cat has feline rhinotracheitis, fleas and yellow fur—what should I do?
The main issue is rhinotracheitis, a contagious viral respiratory disease needing PCR (360-400 yuan); treatment with doxycycline, famciclovir, amoxicillin-clavulanate and lysine costs about 2000 yuan, more if IV needed. Fleas can be treated with fipronil-based prevention plus hygiene; yellow fur is from poor grooming due to illness—wipe clean and add salmon oil and lecithin.
