I had a sore throat and stuffed up head earlier this week. Now Jody is sneezing. He doesn't have a cough. Eating, pooping and playing are a normal. I have seen one clear "snot bubble" on his nostril. No thick or colorful discharge from nose or eyes. He is up to date on all vaccinations.
Can dogs get colds? What do you do for that?

Dogs can experience upper respiratory diseases. Two of the things dogs are generally vaccinated against--parainfluenza and adenovirus--can cause upper respiratory infections. Cold viruses are generally species specific, so it's unlikely that your dog caught a cold from you.

Thanks Julie. That makes me feel better! I guess I'll just watch for changes over the next couple days and take him to the vet if he gets worse.
