You're sure it isn't a reverse sneeze? Have seen an endotracheal tube send a dog into that, but that was right after surgery. Not uncommon. I would still wonder about the tube just irritating her, but three days after? That's a stretch.

I wouldn't rely on those videos to help you with a kennel cough sound. My dogs did not sound like that. I guess it was similar, but not as prolonged and just somewhat different. At first it happened when Rylee's collar was pulled (originally wanted to use a collar for him). It sounded like a dog choking just like if they were on a collar. At first my vet was very concerned that it was CT. Then came the wet nasally symptoms and we knew we had KC. Could still be underlying CT although I somehow doubt that. He cough and still acts like their is something in his throat that he needs to hack up. Maybe that's "normal" for him though. Trying to remember what Ellie sounded like. She still does it a little bit, so I'll try to pay attention later. She choked and hacked like him. Can't place the other noise now. She was wet and nasally also (probably secondary to KC). They were both sneezing. So I wouldn't take the video as the only way it can present.

But it is highly contagious and I'd be surprised if your other pup hasn't gotten it.....
