    Not good.

    Get your pup to the vet right away and send the bill to the breeder.

    This sounds like kennel cough, but that's just a guess.

    Shaz and Sariss are right. Get your puppy to the vet immediately.

    Along with antibiotics, try giving the pup raw honey twice a day. It soothes the throat and helps with the coughing. You can also boost the immune system by supplementing in the water vitamin c capsules with some collodial silver. If your interested, I can give you the recipe. Antibiotics just help ensure that an infection doesn't set in. Doesn't take away the sniffles.

    Kennel cough is just like a human cold. There are vaccinations to help prevent the doggie cold, however there are a million new strands of kennel cough, the vaccine only protects against a couple strands of it. Unless you intend to go to lots of dog parks or boarding facilities, I wouldn't get the vaccine. But if you do get the vaccine, get the one that is injected into the nose. Its more effective.
