Oh blykmyk44 I'm sooo sorry to hear of your tragedy!! Your information is VERY good, thank you for posting it. Alot of people don't realize just how common kennel cough is, especially in doggies that are in contact with other doggies. It's an air borne virus. Anyway I hope that your puupy's story can help others to ask alot of questions and do some research when it comes to invasive procedures because once they are gone an opology from the vet wont mean a anything. My heart goes out to you.
