Dogs aren't like children and "fake" feeling ill.
The cough you describe sounds like kennel cough. A hacking cough that ends with a gag. If it's not kennel cough it could be an upper respiratory infection...and they can feel pretty sick from those.
You can check her nails and make sure she hasn't ripped one off...that's the only thing I can of that may have caused the blood.
