I did not know that the bordatella vaccine can cause coughing. I guess it makes sense, I just thought that it would clear up with antibiotics and it hasn't...I'm still upset with how everything worked out with the first vet that I'm quick to jump the gun and blame everything on her. I even told her what my breeder said about the lepto vaccine causing neurological problems in yorkies but she just shook her head dismissively and said that it was an issue in our area and to go ahead and vaccinate him if not he will die from lepto and that it is contagious and that he will very likely give it to me. I just have two different vets giving me two different opinions and I just wish this information was readily available, like statistics or something of lepto outbreaks throughout the United States as well as the probability that your dog will contract lepto given that they reside in the United States versus the probability that they will contract lepto given that they reside in different states, etc. I also wish the data was available on a yearly basis in order to make sure that there wasn't some kind of "freak" year where a bunch of lepto cases occurred that were out of the norm and do not hold true to the population average...
