You've got a bit of that backwards. The antibiotics are effective against
bacterial infection, and not viral. In kennel cough the initial infection is
often viral, but a bacterial secondary colonization is common, and is what
leads to the worst cases. Antibiotics are often prescribed prophyla

Surely the poster meant this humorously, as in Chows are very tough and

same traits.
Since the coats are thick in most areas, you can know that it is not a

not a systemic health issue. Whats left is genetics, that is most likely, and
