It probably isn't much of anything. Have you had him very long? I have heard some dogs get a little cough for a while after they have certain shots. He could also have just a little cold.

I don't think I would be so quick to just assume that something is wrong with him enough that you want to get down on the breeder.

I would NEVER give something like Robotussin to a puppy. These dogs are fragile when they are little like this and ANY medication that isn't prescribed by a vet could cause overdose and or brain damage.
