If the dog only has a common cold and is in a mild condition, it can usually recover from health in three to four days. If the disease is serious, it may take more than a week. Dogs must be treated in time when colds occur. The owner should keep warm measures for the dog. Do not bathe the dog during the cold, nor take it out of the house, so that the dog can recover faster.
In addition, dogs have different ages and different recovery time when they catch a cold. Generally speaking, it takes more than 15 days for a cold to completely improve, and adult dogs will have obvious improvements in 3 to 5 days. Some dogs who actively cooperate with the treatment can recover within 2 to 3 days. However, elderly dogs have weakened resistance and may take 7 to 15 days for a cold to recover.
Old dogs may take 7-15 days to heal. Because they are no longer as strong as adult dogs, their immunity has significantly decreased, and their physical fitness is much worse than before. Therefore, elderly dogs need to take good care of their colds for a longer time before they can show signs of obvious improvement.
