If you go to YouTube.com and search kennel cough, there are videos of dogs w/ it showing the difference between kennel cough, collapsed trachea, and that 'honking' thing alot of yorkies do!
I actually do give Jackson the bordatella (the one thru the nose...) just because we go the dog park so much and stores and we are around doggies so much. He hadn't got the kennel cough vaccinne, and got kennel cough so I figured for us the preventative was worth it. | I get what you're saying, Brit, but I'm wondering if Buzz could get it, because Lexi was coughing from the shot? |
