Why is my dog coughing and throwing up after staying at a kennel?

Question

My dog has had a dry cough for the past four-five days. He dry coughs multiple times and looks like he is trying to throw up but can’t. He did throw up once on Thursday and it was foamy with food in it. After he threw up he was walking around wobbly and had to sleep the rest of the night. He stayed at a kennel over New Years and I am wondering if he could’ve caught something there. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 1 year and 5 months old | 17 lbs

He could have gotten kennel cough while he was boarded, which is not unusual in situations where dogs are kept in fairly close quarters. I recommend getting your dog in to see your vet as he may need a prescription for cough suppressant and/or antibiotics to help him recover more quickly and easily.
