I agree with the others. You need to find a vet today. Most likely they are in the beginning stages of kennel cough. If untreated, it can get much worse quickly. Pneumonia is a complication and very dangerous for puppies. Getting them to a vet today for antibiotics can save you a huge vet bill a few days from now.

Have the vet do a skin scraping and look at their skin w/an ultraviolet light. Ringworm and mites are a strong possibility since they came from a puppy mill.

Did your husband get a a health guarantee with the puppies?

Frontline and Advantage are safe for puppies over eight weeks old. Six days is plenty of time for fleas to be in your carpet as they only spend a small part of their adult life on the host. As the eggs in your carpet hatch, they will keep re infesting your puppies.
