Well in my area that is VERY expensive to pay for xrays!! They run about $60 here plus the office call. If it was me I would call around and ask for prices from other vets. As for kennel cough it can last a LONG LONG LONG time. Nothing really makes it go away, but the meds can help it not going into something more. I would take him into another vet though...I am a worrier and with the sound he is making I would worry that the cough went into his lungs. I don't say that to scare you! Just to say to please take him for a second opinion. Although he just may still have the kennel cough - it took FOREVER to get rid of. Also - he can pass that on to other dogs via the cough. So he is not supposed to be around other dogs until that stops. Usually a vet will want to know that right away to get him into a room.
