Dog and kennel cough
My dog (2yo male Boxer neutered) was boarded in a kennel for 2 days and has now developed a cough – sort of like a hacking dry cough like he has something stuck in his throat. He had the kennel cough vaccine – I thought he’d be protected from it? Is this life threatening and should I take him into a vet? He seems to be otherwise in good health ie eating, sleeping, running around.
