Mine got kennel cough from the nasal vaccine. I read about a "test" you can do by pressing "GENTLY" on the front of the throat at the colar line. This is exactly what my vet did when we went back for a recheck. It caused Baby Chloe to cough. She also did a "gag" at the end of the cough. I was hesitant to suggest it because you could cause damage by pressing too hard on a Yorkie's throat. My vet opted to skip antibiotics and just gave a shot for inflamation. It took about a month for the cough to completely resolve.
