I brought new shihtzu yesterday 41 days old. Got a health checkup, doctor said he have lungs congestion and provided digyton, comptirit and avil syrup. We did not get avil syrup so got substitute of allegra. We are observing running nose, sneezing. Also he is not drinking water after food (cerelac). Please advise on this.

Lung congestion, also known as pulmonary edema, occurs when there is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the lungs. It can be a serious condition and may require immediate veterinary attention. If you suspect your dog has lung congestion, it's important to consult with a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Ensure your dog gets plenty of rest in a calm and quiet environment. Stress and physical exertion can worsen respiratory distress, so it's important to keep your dog as calm and relaxed as possible at room temperature not so cold not so hot follow treatment plan: once your veterinarian diagnoses the cause of the lung congestion, they will likely recommend a treatment plan. This may include medications such as diuretics to help remove excess fluid, oxygen therapy to improve breathing, or other medications to address the underlying cause such as antibiotic, antiallergic, etc monitor fluid intake: I n some cases, restricting water intake may be necessary to prevent further fluid accumulation. Minimize exposure to irritants: keep your dog away from environmental factors that can worsen respiratory issues, such as smoke, strong chemicals, or allergens. These can further irritate the lungs and make the condition worse overall recovery take 5-10 days so please take care with patiently .if rany emergency then consult with some specialist veterinarian.
