If loss of appetite and being lethargic are symptoms they do not have it also they are not really being loud or coughing up anything. It just sounds like clearing their throat not loud or vigorous at all.
I think you're right that it sure doesn't sound like kennel cough
from what you say. You'd know it if it was. It's a real hacking type
cough.

I'd also love to see some pics of Buttons & also your other two
bassetts.
