A couple days ago my 5 month old Havanese puppy was acting very sickly and tired. He wasn't really eating his food, and he was trying to puke. The next morning (yesterday) I took him to the vet and was told he had tonsillitis and was given biomax (amoxicillin) in a dropper. To give to him once every 12 hours. Since then he still doesn't eat, when he does sometimes we pukes it up and sometimes he doesn't. He's also very tired now and sleeps most of the time. MY question is, is this normal? Will he be fine in a couple days or should is are these side effects something I should be worried about?

My dog has allergies and also was diagnosed with tonsillitis. He is on Cerenia for vomiting, Cefpodxime for antibiotic, Famotidine for gastric acid and Rimadyl for anti inflammatory. He will drink water, but is refusing food. He had X-rays and they found a lot of gas in his stomach and bowels. What should I do.

Nine year old Chocolate Lab Dog with cough. Took to first vet twice. He got an antibiotic (amoxiclav) and steroids both times and symptoms cleared til meds were gone then returned. Took to new vet who did Xrays of chest and throat and blood work. Xrays sent out and were deemed normal. Blood work normal, and no fever. Antibiotics and steroids again. Cough of course returned at end of meds. Took back to second vet who then did a tracheal wash sent out for culture and sensitivity. Vet did note that tonsils and throat were pretty red. Came back ONLY showing a little Strep, sensitivity showed SMZ TMP would kill it. He was given another steroid injection which stopped his cough almost immediately and prescribed the SMZ TMP for a ten day course. As soon as the steroid wore off back to coughing even though he finished the ten day coursed of antibiotics. Now back to coughing every time he moves and so far I am out more than $1000.00 and still nothing has helped him. Do you have any suggestions?

My mister has a horrible cough. He sounds like a goose! The cough started one day after we hosted a bbq at our house and 2 days later I found a rib bone in my 9 lb chihuahuas pen.UGH! My husband thinks kennel cough, while I think he has a splinter lodged in his throat that is bothering him. We visited the vet yesterday, No x ray was done, but the vet said his tonsil was slightly inflamed and gave us meds for them. He said its similar to dog "tonsilitis" If there is a bone splinter in his throat will this eventually go away on its own from his saliva dissolving it? Or would it need to be surgically removed?

My Chihuahua had a persistent cough and had his tonsils removed. He has been on antibiotics and still coughs. The vet does not know what else to do. My dog still has a long life ahead of him and don't want him to cough for the rest of his life or have him on cough syrup for life either. Any suggestions, I am worried and a little frustrated.

I noticed tonsillitis in my Bullmastiff. Took her to Vet and they told me to give antibiotics 2 times for a week. I hope she will be fine. Tonsillitis is really- slightly smaller than tennis ball. I am feeding her on liquid diet as probably she will struggling with eating. what else do you suggest me to do ? warm water or cold water to server. vitamin c intake will help ? please suggest.

my dog has had short pallet sacculles and tonsil surgery because of difficulty breathing all at the same time of year over the last 6 years now again the breathing difficulties again specialist says allergies so steroids again which hate because of the side affects if they dont work which now after 3 days they are working like 75 percent of the problem the specialist will then look down dogs throat and ask a internest to take a look also what could this be do you have any idea thanks
