It could be that Hazel is suffering from a respiratory infection or from kennel cough. I would have her seen by a vet today if possible for this. The vet can diagnose if she is suffering from a respiratory infection or kennel cough, and can prescribe her medications to treat her symptoms. In the meantime, if she seems congested, you can try using a humidifier or bringing her into the bathroom with the door closed while you take a hot shower - the steam and humidity help to break up congestion and temporarily relieve symptoms associated with respiratory infections.
