The best answer is the same way you would "treat" yourself if you had a simple cold - rest and drink plenty of fluids. The common cold is caused by a virus, so antibiotics are not effective and may actually make the dog sicker. You may choose to simply observe your dog at home to make sure he's not getting too sick, as most healthy dogs can work through a cold within 3-5 days. However, if your dog has a chronic health condition (such as Diabetes, Cushing's, etc.), is on daily medications (prescribed by the vet, including prednisone and Rimadyl for Arthritis), appears to be getting very ill or doesn't get better within a few days, you should take him to your vet.

First, I'm a little curious about what "cold in his eye" means - does his eye have discharge running out of it? If this is the case, you can't treat this at home. You will need to take your dog to your veterinarian for an examination and your veterinarian will provide treatment for your dog.

I have found homeopathic treatment to be very effective with my dog, a shitsu cross, a breed known for chronic runny eyes. Each individual has to be case studied for specifics but Pulsatilla in a 30c potency with Euphrasia 200c potency has helped us enormously. We drop one homeopathic pellet or tablet of each into her dog water ( fresh non-chlorinated spring water) whenever we notice her eyes getting runny again and they usually clear up within a few hours /1 day and stay good for increasing lengths of time in between doses...she is now good for at least 2-3 weeks at a time after 4 months of periodic doses. Please contact me for a private consultation if desired. Or contact a local homeopathic doctor for help.

You can put warm compresses on it. If that doesn't help call a vet you might need eye drops.
