OMG!! You're scaring me.. however, it is kennel cough because she caught it from my rescue boy. Before that, she was PERFECTLY healthy! :*( Also, when I took her in, he listened and didn't hear any fluid in her lungs.

I agree with Peggy, My last dog had what I thought was kennel cough and it was congestive heart failure. The lungs fill with fluid and they cough. They have lots of great meds for congestive heart failure. The trick is to check and find it early. The vet can usually hear the fluid in the lungs this a stethoscope.
