We met an offlead dog the other night who came over and had a sniff at mine...his owner had told me the day before that both his dogs were inside because they have kennel cough.
I wasn't overly bothered in that it was maybe 5 seconds of contact and my dog is a healthy (in that way, lol) young adult. I mean it would be a PITA if he caught it, but no more than that.
Anyway, I was googling the incubation period, just out of nosiness and discovered that cats can catch it.
I have a cat with a compromised immune system and now I'm a little bit worried.
Should I be, or is he unlikely to catch it with such a small amount of exposure?
