Here's why:
* Congestion can be a symptom of many different health issues. A veterinarian can diagnose the underlying cause and recommend the appropriate treatment.
* Human medications can be dangerous for dogs. Even seemingly harmless medications like decongestants can be toxic to dogs.
* Your dog's specific needs will vary. Factors like age, breed, and overall health can influence the best treatment plan.
Please contact your veterinarian immediately if your dog is congested. They can provide a proper diagnosis and safe treatment options.
