I never treat my fosters for kennel cough because of the reason Glacier stated. If you give them anti-biotics too much, they can build up a resistance which wouldn't be good if something more serious happened that required antibiotics.

I do know a lot of vets will prescribe antibiots for kennel cough, but there are also a lot who don't.
That's what my vet said too. He did have me check the temps of the dogs who seemed to be most affected--twice a day. Let's not discuss how much fun that process was!!! If they had developed a sudden spike in their temps, I was supposed to bring them back cuz that would have indicated they were developing lung infections. He would have given medication for that.

oh, we had two betas that committed suicide too a couple years ago. Silly fish!
