He seems to sleep all the time, with very few spurt of playtime in between. This might be the medicine making him sleepy, but it really worries me! His tummy always feels full. We feed him only Eukanuba small bites (which he eats often) and supplement him with nutracal once a day. He also drinks often. He has to pee all the time but poops only once a day.
When I got my beagle I had none of these problems and I am just sOOOOO worried about him!!! I want him to be okay--he is SO cute and sweet!! I am taking him again to the vet tomorrow because I have been very worried. I second guess EVERYTHING that is happening with him. Am I worrying too much?!? Any advice is highly appreciated and I am sooo glad I found this site!

Angela, I would take him to the vet and request a blood panel as well as a chest x-ray. Also do a search on YT on 'kennel cough'. There are many that have gone through this with their puppies. It will give you some idea of what their dogs symptoms were and what was prescribed that didn't work and what did. I would make a list of questions to ask your vet after reading the posts.
Let us know how it goes after the vet.
