She's probably just a little cold. Warm her up in the microwave for about 10 seconds.

She's on/under two blankets and a heating pad. Just may have to try the microwave.

A pot of boiling water might help.

Be careful! becasue she is small she can get phnemonia easy. my 6lb did and when i could'nt get water down him with eyedropper I took him to the Doggie Hospital. they pumped fluids and two days of antibiotics in him. i thought he was dying. Just watch it real close! Get food and water in and if the cough gets worse and you can't get water in. Go see the vet. Forget the surgery for a week.

Hmmm you are so sweet. I appreciate everyone's imput and concern.

She is doing okay, still coughing every now and then, but not peeing hardly. Now I will try to make sure she gets some water thanks to usetosell. She is really cold too, shivering and her ears are cold so I have been either holding her wrapped in a blanket or on the heating pad with blankets when I am doing stuff. (FWIW, I am not being dramatic, I normally always hold her but w/out a blanket and put her under one when I am busy- just stepping the heat up a little.) She should be fine.

How long ago was she in the kennel? Bordattelo would not be effective if she got the shot the day she went in. Kennel cough shows up about a week later, IIRC. It is relatively benign but you may want to check with the vet if that cough persists. As to the spaying--not to worry, it is routine and she will be normal in 2 days.
