She ended up having a calcium deficiency she had seizures, fever, drooling, vomiting, and was unable to stand. we took her to the vet. They gave her valum, shots, calcium through an iv and gave us calcium pet tabs, we switched her food to a puppy formula, high in calcium but days later she developed kennel cough and its been 3 days she still really sick, we've given her prescibed amoxicillin but now one of the puppies is coughing.

Kennel Cough is easily spread from dog to dog. Given the pup's age, it should be examined by your veterinarian to confirm the diagnosis. Left untreated, kennel cough can progress to pneumonia which can be life threatening in puppies.
