Having Bordetella does not mean didley squat, dogs still get the Kennel Cough aka tracheabronchitis. this sounds like KC to me.

My puppy just got it even tho he was fully vaccinated. His symptoms were the same. He sounded like a pig who is an old man. Unless this strain of KC is bacterial you should not have your puppy put on antiB's for a viral KC, there are two kinds, viral and bacterial. Bacterial you do AntiB's viral you do not.
