Can a dog have a cold?

[Ginny Nightingale]

There is vast experience in this group about ailments among our doodles, so i was hoping someone could shed some light on Mattie's symptoms. She had a bit of a cough the other day like she had inhaled something and it went on all day. Then I noticed some sneezing, but not just a light sneeze--a deeper sneeze. The next day, the coughing stopped and she had  just an occasional sneeze--but at night she has been sneezing a lot. She seems perfectly fine otherwise and has no temperature, but this sneezing is really weird. She sleeps at my feet and woke me up numerous times sneezing three or four times in a row last night then going back to sleep. There is no discharge from her nose, no loss of appetite or other change in behavior. Any ideas?

I hope Mattie is feeling better!

Yes, she is fine and no harm done. The clavamox cleared it up immediately and Rio was on it as a precaution. I am really not sure what she had, but glad it is gone!
