How to deal with colds in dogs: antipyretic and anti-inflammatory

The normal body temperature of dogs generally does not exceed 39°C. When the body temperature of a cold dog exceeds 40°C and has chills, antipyretic and analgesic drugs can be used. The more commonly used one is Diazepam, which can be injected subcutaneously or intramuscularly at 0.5 to 2 ml according to the size of the individual. Do not use this drug in excess, otherwise it may easily cause collapse. Bupleurum injection can be used as traditional Chinese medicine, which has good curative effect and has few side effects. For sick dogs whose body temperature does not rise much, there is no need to inject antipyretics, and oral cold medicine can be used. Please use it under the guidance of a doctor.
