Buddy caught Kennel cough from a dog at the local dog park where I took him this past summer. The dumb owner ( or lets say ignorant) just kept bringing his dog each day to the park. A few of us mentioned to the owner that the cough sounded bad and he should take his dog to the vet ect. Well I think it was about 6 ppl's dogs who got it. I took Buddy because even though he was an adult his cough was deep and horse sounding and my vet guessed as well ,it was kennel cough. I do not think there is a test for kennel cough. There is a vaccine ( bordatella) if I remember correctly but evidently kennel cough itself is like the flu or a cold and several virus's cause it. Buddy got better after a few days of medication but it is still extremely contagious for 5 to 6 weeks I believe. Hope he is feeling better.
