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!

I'm sorry to read that. It usually takes 5-10 days after exposure to affected dogs for symptoms to appear. Lots of vets recommend robitussin, because cough control is important, too.
