The symptoms usually appear about 5 - 10 days
after exposure to an infected dog and can last for up to 3 weeks, though symptoms may improve considerably within a few days.
Exposure to an infected dog's secretions (cleaning up urine or fetal membranes after a litter is delivered) can transmit the disease to humans.
The signs of kennel cough normally appear about 4 to 7 days after
exposure to an infected dog, which usually occurs in a high dog - density boarding or other situation, where dogs congregate in what might be less than ideal sanitary or hygienic conditions.
