The dog just lies there and does not move
Cold symptoms are cough, sneeze, runny nose and tears; with vomiting and appetite loss, rule out distemper first with a vet. Distemper needs interferon and monoclonal antibodies or it can kill in 1-2 weeks. If it is just a cold or gut issue, use amoxicillin-clavulanate, anti-vomit and probiotics.
