, like a cough, eye or nasal discharge, and fatigue, and they will recover in a couple of weeks. However, a small percentage may develop severe complications, including a high fever or pneumonia., a veterinarian based in Canada’s Ontario province and a veterinary medical adviser for pet care platform Rover, said she’s been seeing more and more dogs come into her practice with signs of respiratory infections.
