My dog was kenneled, now sick, won't eat, lethargic. What can I do?

Question

Our dog was kenneled for a week and two days after we brought her home she developed a severe cold that and spit up mucus. Her appetite was good and she seemed to get better. Now a week after the first symptoms began she won't eat or drink and is lethargic. We will take her to the doctor on Monday (tomorrow) but is there anything we can do for her today? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 3 years and 3 months old | 50 lbs

She is probably suffering from kennel cough, an upper respiratory infection that is very common in kennels. in some cases this type of infection becomes complicated with fever and lung involvement. she will need a course of antibiotics and some cough meds, unfortunately there is not much you can do before getting her to the vet.
