Other bacteria and viruses, including the parainfluenza virus, can also cause kennel cough, which means that even vaccinated dogs can get kennel cough from another source. This is why it is important for owners to be aware of the symptoms of kennel cough, even if their dogs have had the Bordetella vaccine. |
I read this same thing and thought, Wow, I could be opening up Annabelle to any number of things if I bring that little dog home. Another thing is that the shelter dog supposedly really really loves kids and just lights up when they're around her. We're older and she wouldn't run into young children living with us except possibly during a walk. Maybe someone with young children will adopt her. Maybe it's for the best.
