3 year old chihuaha/miniature pinscher

Question
I had my 3 year old chih./min. pin. spayed and vaccinated on Friday 4/13.  On Monday, 4/16 she started coughing a lot.  It's now Tuesday night and she is still coughing a lot.  Could she have gotten kennel cough from the vets? how long before symptoms would appear?  Could it be a reaction to the vaccinations or anesthesia?  Should I be taking her back to the vet right away?

Answer
Hi Denise,
Yes, it sounds like kennel cough.  It will go away on its own, but I think it runs about a three week course.  
It could also be a reaction from the tubing that was put in her throat when she was spayed.  If I were you, I would call the Vet to see what they advise. Chihuahua type dogs are so small, that I don't want to recommend anything over the counter.  I don't think you need to take her back, just call and see if they recommend anything that you could do.  
God Bless,
Becky
