Bordetella
Bordetella is the most common cause of tracheobronchitis (kennel
cough) in dogs. It is a bacterial illness that is most common among
dogs that congregate at things like shows, kennels or other places
frequented by large numbers of dogs at once. It does not appear that
this bacterin gives a full year of immunity in many instances. For
dogs that are often exposed to situations in which the infection is
likely probably should be vaccinated twice a year. There are
intra-nasal as well as subcutaneous bacterins available for this
disease. The intra-nasal bacterin confers immunity more quickly but
the injectable version may last longer.
