Of my pup has kennel cough can he still get the vacine and will it work or just I take him to get antibiotics. Pet's info: Dog | American Staffordshire Terrier | Male | neutered | 15 lbs

If he is sick, he shouldn't be vaccinated until he recovers. Kennel cough is typically self limiting. This means it resolves on its own whether treatment is administered or not. Antibiotics may help treat secondary infection. Since kennel cough may be caused by more than one organism, Dreko should still be vaccinated in the future.
