We got cases of kennel Cough reported here in Wichita. It closed down the greyhound park. Apparently its a pretty serious deal for a dog, so maybe you all should get you pets checked and a booster shot if there is one.

Thanks Kahlee.

Strangely enough the same thing happened here in Tampa.
This disease is highly contagious and should be taken seriously.

They said it was like a Person getting a cold, but I have never heard of anyone dieing from a cold, But I guess dogs can and do die from this.

The vaccine lasts about 6 months and is administered in liquid form through the dog's nostrils.

Well, that sounds uncomfortable as all get out, but its better than the alternative.

It's basically a doggie cold - but can lead to complications or other avenues of infection

Thanks for The Warning Khalee. I'll esp. be on the lookout since My Bostons already have a Tendency to Sinus Problems.
