My dog had kennel cough when she was a pup and I remember her having to be on antibiotics 3 times before it fully went away. Your dog might just need another dose of antibiotics.

Kennel Cough is very hard to get rid of. It's like the flu, there are many, many strands. Do you vaccinate her for Kennel Cough (Bordetella)? Do you take her to be groomed, boarded, or any doggie parks?

No i havent got her vaccinated for kennel cough, i have her 2 months and she has had  it from day 1. we brought her down to the vet and he didnt give her any more antibiotics.                                                                                         he said it takes ages to go, today she is very chesty and coughed up flem (phlegm).
