Default How contagious is kennel cough?

Hi everyone, just want to say thanks for anyone who has responded to my previous posts about my baby's cough! I have another question because there is a yorkie meetup in my area (Boston) next Saturday the 21st and all the babies will be wearing their costumes, etc. and I met someone who is from the same town as me online who is a member of that meetup group who wants to meet me so our yorkies can play! I can't wait for Bella to have a chance to socialize with other puppies but with this cough I am not sure what to do....if you read my other post ("My 18 week yorkie keeps coughing") then you know she has had this cough since I got her in August and has tried 3 antibiotics, which haven't done anything. So she is being treated for kennel cough and I am wondering if that is what she has...is she still contagious after all this time? Would other yorkies catch what she has even if they have been vaccinated against it? As much as I would love to bring her in her costume next Saturday, I don't want any other yorkies getting sick or others seeing her cough and be afraid she might be contagious. Does anyone know if she would still be contagious (assuming it is kennel cough, which I am not even sure of anymore if that is what's causing her cough)?
