[Dailydrool] Kennel cough

[Ron Buries]

 Last night my grand daughters little mix started hacking and throwing up.  We took sprocket to the Vet this after noon and he was diagnosed with kennel cough. Our Barney and Sprocket live and play together. The Vet gave Sprocket meds and
advised us that Barney will more then likely wind up with the disease.  The Vet thinks Sprocket  was exposed at the dog park.  Barney is 9 years old, and in good health, but I am very concerned how this will affect him. The Vet said I should wait and see if 
Barney is infected, then come in and get meds. Is this the best advice? Any other options? I live on a well traveled corner lot with a park across the street where our friends and their 4 legged companions play daily. How do I keep the chance of exposure down?
Any advice would be appreciated.
