Even though she is annually vaccinated for it. Now here we go again, she had to go to the vet last week, and darned if she doesn't have it again this year. She had just been vaccinated with her annual vaccines, and 10 days later signs of the cough! I feel like it used to be with my children when they were younger, I would take them for their well check at the pediatricians's office and a week later they came down with something!! Anyway, doxycycline again and tussigon to suppress cough. She is doing much better now. The vet tells me that there are too many strains of the virus, similar to the flu. Just seems odd, after vaccinating 10 days later, symptomatic. My daughter is a vet tech, and she tells me that they recommend vaccinate every 6 months for bordetella, especially those who are most susceptible . Any feedback on this subject?? Becky & the girls
