My puppy is coughing after daycare. Is it kennel cough? What to do?

Question

My puppy has been coughing since I picked her up from day care. It first happened when she ran up the stairs and then again when she was playing later with her ball and again when we were laying on the couch. It sounds like she has something caught in her throat when she coughs but hasn’t coughed anything up she ate most of her dinner and drank water but didn’t throw up anything. Should I call the vet in the morning to see if they want to see her? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 11 months and 6 days old | 51 lbs

It sounds like Hazel has kennel cough. Yes, you should get her to your vet for an exam. It is very common for dogs to catch this at daycare, boarding facilities, grooming parlors, dog parks. Basically anywhere there are lots of dogs together in a restricted space. https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=600 Hope this helps. Best wishes.
