Puppies' runny nose is considered to be caused by odor irritation, cold catching, bronchitis, infection with canine distemper virus, etc. If the puppy is just a runny nose and does not accompany other symptoms, it is usually caused by an irritating odor, which is a normal phenomenon. If it is also accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and mental depression, it is recommended to take the puppy to the pet hospital for treatment immediately to avoid delaying the condition and make the symptoms worse.
1. Odor irritation
If the puppy inhales an irritating odor, such as paint, gasoline and other chemical substances, the smell emitted may irritate the nasal mucosa, causing the secretion of the nasal mucosa, and symptoms such as runny nose and sneezing may appear. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and generally does not affect your physical health. The owner does not have to worry too much. You can take your puppies to an environment without irritating odors, which can effectively relieve symptoms.
2. The resistance of the puppies is relatively poor. If they do not dry their hair in time after bathing, it may cause the puppies to have a cold body, causing symptoms such as water-like snot and fever. If this situation occurs, you should go to the pet hospital in time and inject antipyretics or intravenous antibiotics with the help of a doctor, which will be of certain help to relieve symptoms.
3. Bronchitis
Considered that it is caused by a large temperature difference between day and night and a sudden drop in temperature. If the puppies are not kept warm in time, it may reduce the puppies' own resistance, causing the virus to invade the body and reproduce in large quantities, resulting in symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, and excessive phlegm. At this time, the owner should take the puppy to the hospital for examination in time and treat it symptomatically based on the examination results.
4. Infection with canine distemper virus
This virus is a highly contact infectious disease and is extremely contagious. It may be caused by contact with other puppies who have been infected with the canine distemper virus. After infection, symptoms such as high fever, runny nose, and loss of appetite may occur. Vaccination needs to be administered with the help of a doctor, which can effectively relieve symptoms.
