Anywho... so sorry about Chloe and the bronchitis/pneumonia. My first reaction after reading the post was: if either Tuck and Lulu are diagnosed w/ Kennel Cough (they have been vaccinated annually/not every 6 months????/I plan to have a chat w/ my Vet about that when Tuck gets his 2 year check up) I will insist on a chest x-ray. $$$$$$$$$

Seeing that I am a relatively inexperienced Corgi Mom, I tend to panic first and think later. Please keep us posted on her progress.[/quote]

Susan, reality check. Even IF Tuck and Lulu receive their bordatella vaccines and a month later are boarded, they can still come down with kennel cough. The reason being there are a wide variety of strains of it and the vaccine only covers some of them. IF there are no physical medical reasons for a chest x-ray, why do one?
