Can people catch a cold when their cat or dog has a bad cold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You could because there are some viruses or bacteria that could be transferred from pets to humans. If it is severe like you have high fever and affecting your daily activities seek medical care; otherwise take it easy, good nutrition to improve immunity and adequate fluid intake to allow recovery.
