You absolutely should be taking your dog to the vet and the sooner, the better. While it may be something like kennel cough, it could also be much more serious, possibly even congestive heart failure. Only a vet can make that diagnosis.

Dogs in the later stages of congestive heart failure become much less active and tire easily. Their appetite usually falls off and they show signs of difficult respiration, panting and coughing while at rest. Their tummy enlarges and takes on a pear-shape as fluid accumulates in the liver and abdomen.
I wish you and your pup all the best. Let us know what happens!
