I'm sorry to hear Charlie isn't feeling well. It sounds like he has an upper respiratory infection. This is common for puppies that fly. They don't have a strong immune system and the stress of flying makes them susceptible to everything. I would also be concerned for parvovirus as that is also very contagious. I would take him to a vet right away to diagnose him and get him started on medications. Because he is young he can get worse very quickly. Good luck and kisses to Charlie!
