She is very beautiful! Without seeing her it is hard to say. Coughing is a sign of kennel cough but the sneezing isn't. While the kennel cough vaccine is a great vaccine, it is like the flu vaccine and doesn't prevent the disease just lessens the severity. If she is coughing I would recommend having her seen for treatment so it doesn't get worse and turn into pneumonia. Good luck and kisses to Princess Ruby!
