Most of the time KC needs to run it's course. Some people think that antibiotics are necessary because of secondary illness due to low immunity. I had this run through my home from a rescue dog that I fostered. All of my pups had the bordetella vaccine and they still got it. There are many different strains, unfortunately.

Good Luck and I hope your babies feel better real soon~
