Possible Kennel Cough

Milo has started coughing and wretching tonight. He had been fast asleep with me on the sofa for about an hour, when it woke him up.
I have given him a piriton in case it is a reaction to something (knowing what his allergy problems are like), but he has been at the vets a lot lately for different tests and about 2-3 weeks ago was in for a day. I think I can vaguely remeber a dog coughing in the waiting room as he was bought out to me too. Although it could just have been excitement causing that.
Anyway if he is still coughing tomorrow I will presume its the dreaded kennel cough. Which more than likely means Shady will be next in line for it.

Does sound like it but 3 weeks seems too long ago for him to have contracted it at the vets. Think it is usually about 7 to 10 days.

Well he hasn't coughed and wretched since having the piriton so I presume it was an allergic reaction to something, goodness knows what this time though
