Question
Hi!
I have two dogs and they've been tested for allergies. Fortunatlly they have none.Lately its been a little chilly outside and both my dogs have been sneezing. We know for a fact that it is a cold but we would like to know some treatments. Can we take care of this at home?

Answer
Generally there is not a lot one can due but let these things run their course, but I would certainly take their temperature every day (normal is 100-102). If temps are elevated at all, I would get them into the vet for an exam and possible antibiotics. Be sure you keep them warm and away from other dogs.
