I did end up making him an appointment tomorrow to see a vet. I've been at the office almost daily since Thursday, but luckily this time my girlfriend will be bringing him in since I have finals.

Thanks for the extra info about kennel cough. I'm hoping for the best and a speedy recovery. I would still like him to start obedience school, but I of course won't do anything to put the other animals at risk.
