My Brady Bug has had a hacking cough for a little over a week now. At first it was infrequent which led me to think allergies, but has been happening more and more often. Last night he and Tanner slept in their kennels as I had just applied their Frontline and he woke me up several times coughing so hard his whole crate was shaking/rattling around. Aside from the cough and a little bit of a runny nose he is eating fine and has a normal level of energy. He's up to date on his vaccines - including Bordatella.

I called our vet this morning and they want me to bring him in as they are seeing a strain of Kennel Cough which is not normally included in the Bordatella vaccine and running rampant in our area right now.

What is normal diagnosis/treatment protocol if it is Kennel Cough? And do I need to ask them to check/treat Tanner as well?
