Cold/Sneeze/Cough - Chocolate Labrador

20 9:49:16

Question
Hi

I have 3 chocolate labs, 2 are still in their puppy stage. The past 2 days, they have been sneezing n their noses are runny too. One older puppy even has a raspy cough. Can you tell me why this is happening and will it go away or do i have to take them to the vet?  Thank you.

Answer
I am quick to run a sick dog to the vet, but maybe not this time.  Dogs get viruses the same as we do, and antibiotics don't help them either.  Unless they are suffering from the symptoms and need relief, I would hope they get better. Weekends are bad to find a vet anyhow.
