Expert Answer

A dog with pneumonia typically shows coughing, fever, reduced activity, poor appetite, yellow or green nasal discharge, and lethargy.

Without timely treatment it can worsen into serious complications such as breathing difficulty and may become life-threatening.

See a vet immediately for full examination and treatment, which usually includes antibiotics, fluids, and nebulization, plus good ventilation and hygiene.
