At the risk of playing the devils advocate... I don't think some people know what kennel cough is or what the symptoms are. Also, the symptoms usually don't show right away so the owner might not realize it till later.
Magnus and Zoey caught it several months back. My sister mentioned her dog having it and warned me so I researched. That's the only reason I knew what it was when I heard the cough. Of course, I took them to the vet right away and kept them contained for over a month. M/Z are always up to date with their vaccines and when I asked, the vet said it's not 100% protection. However, if the pup does catch it, the vaccine would help get better faster or help so the infection won't be as bad.
I'm really sorry your pup caught it... I hope your JRT doesn't catch it. Hopefully, the vaccine will help your pup get over it faster. |
