What to Do When Your Dog Has a Cold and Cough
Caring for a dog is like raising a child - feeding, shelter, and sickness all fall to you, and the common cold is near the top of the list. A dog with a cold looks defeated: ears down, eyes shut, motionless in the bed, with a rising temperature (adult dogs run below 39.2C, puppies 38-39C; above 39C means fever). It also coughs, has a runny nose, red conjunctiva, poor appetite, and shivers from the cold. Do not bathe a sick or coughing puppy - bathing strips a protective layer and lowers immunity. Keep the sleeping area warm with a blanket or hot-water bottle, dress the dog for walks, and keep the bed out of drafts. For the cough and runny nose, a half-packet of children's cold granules three times a day for about a week helps; dog-specific supplements are an option too. Feed nutritious food like beef and vegetables to build resistance, and catch illness early.

What Causes Arowana Popeye?
Arowana popeye (bulging eyes) is caused by high nitrite in aged water, too much protein in the diet, or bacterial/parasitic infection.

Rising pH, high alkalinity, or vitamin B deficiency can also contribute.
