Kira update.....

She has been awake now for almost 5 hours and has only coughed mildly (not wildly/frantically like yesterday) 4 times.  She's been running around, acting like a typical puppy getting into mischief.  I can't imagine that it resolved itself so quickly, but somehow, she's a LOT better!  I'll probably still take her to the Dr tomorrow, but I'm so happy she seems better.  Maybe it's the switching her to better food, maybe it's because I started her on vitamin C yesterday...whatever the case, she's not over it, but she's dramatically improved.  yay.

Also, I'm thrilled to report that she barked for 2 (yes two) minutes in her crate last night and then proceeded to sleep for 6.5 hours.  Life is seeming much better to all of us here today, haha.
