Based on what your saying here, sounds like your dog is suffering Kennel Cough or Herpes infection in the upper respiratory tract. Do this first have your dog stand up on four legs, and with your hand tap hard enough on the chest by the rig cage a couple quick times to see if the dog coughs right after your tap.

Not sure how old it is, or the vaccination history so I am assuming you have this all up to date, but the age is unknown.

If it does, the dog has pneumonia. Take this dog to the vet ASAP and you need to get the dog under antibiotics.

Keep us posted
