I have known some dogs to take over a month to get over a case of kennel cough and have had many different kinds of antibotics through their treatment. Have your girls had the Bordetella vaccination? If not you might want to have your vet vaccinate them if possible. Your puppies are probably to young to receive the Bordetella vaccine yet. |

I did not take it in a negative way at all. I actually thought about it as well.

My dogs have had the Bordetella vaccine but my two pups have not. They are 7 1/2 weeks old. I read that if I get them the intra-nasal (I think that is what it is called) vaccine they should be protected after four days to a week. I am going to get them the vaccine, my vet does not do it in the nose and I read it is more effective. I am planning to wait as long as she will hold her, then I will take the pup directly to my vet and see what he says

if she seems safe. This is so scary...
