Coughing....should I be concerned? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Shadow is going through something like this. He coughs about 2-3 a day, more like a gagging sound. It seemed to happen the same day he got a bordatella shot. I took him to another vet and he gave him some pills to stop the coughing. He's suppose to take it twice a day for 10 days. If that doesn't help he's going to give him antibiotics. The vet pressed somewhere on his throat with induced a cough. So i'm assuming shadow has kennel cough.

According to my vet, they can still get kennel cough even though they've had the vaccine. Only difference is it's not going to be as sever.

Hope your fluff gets better soon. Mine is doing fine now, thank god.
