I've gotta bluetick cross that has been coughing the last couple of days. He's fine in every other way, I've worked him in a pen twice this week and he's doing real good. I guess he didn't like his new barrel so he stood out in the rain the other day for a long time before I got home and put him in a kennel, could that have made him sick or do you think it's something else. I don't mean to sound stupid but I'm kinda paranoid after losing two pups not long ago so any advice would be nice

Do you have a stethoscope if not try to listen to its breathing if its real dry and raspy or wet and congested?
Try rubbing its throat and see if that causes it to cough.
whats the age? Weight size? sorry for the 20 questions my sisters are vets and they saw the posting and they are on it like white on rice
