It is not a practice for dog breeders to vaccinate their dams against kennel cough. Some puppies suffer from a harsh dry hacking cough as in this case.

Blood test showed leucocytosis despite over 2 weeks of Clavulox antibiotics from Vet 1 after purchase.  X-rays by Vet 1 showed pleural effusion but Vet 1 had said there was nothing abnormal in the X-rays. 

The dog was referred to Toa Payoh Vets by her sister for generalised skin ringworm. See red spots on various parts of the body. The dog was scratching her body since purchase 2 months ago, as well as coughing harshly.
