I guess Kennel Cough is better than a damaged trachea.. but if I have not had Remy out with other dogs, my other dogs are fine, and she has had her shots... how did she get kennel cough?? I think she got it when she was at the vets .. what do you think?
Any advice on being sure she is ok.. the medication the vet gave us of course...
Thanks for the help!

Oh, poor Remy, I hope she feels better soon. Yogi sends her get well wishes too.
Kennel Cough is highly contagious. I think the incubation period is 3 to 5 days from time of exposure. You can even bring it home to your dogs on your shoes or hands if you come in contact with the virus. I think the vaccination only lasts for about 6 months so if your other dogs have not been vaccinated recently they can get it. It takes a week or longer for them to get over the cough.
