| Maggie has a sore throat... how can I help her? Hi All, our new baby Maggie has a sore throat, had it since we got her a week ago. The Vet only mentioned it and asked if she's coughing a lot. Well, she don't but her bark and whining sounds so pittyful. Does anybody have any experience with that and could give me tips how I can soothe it? She is already on antibiotics for her skin condition so I don't think that would be the way to go... I gave her some honey to lick and give her only warm food and water. She also wears a turtle neck sweater... Thanks a lot for your help! |

| Im no vet but id advise you try to do all the things listed above but also brush her teeth while her sore throat persists at least once a day. she could have a small cut or sore in her throat and if she gets bacteria in it then the sore could grow and become infected causing it to last alot longer than it should. just a small tip and i hope she feels better really soon. |

| I don't have a humidifer, so if Piper has trouble with his throat, I steam up the bathroom.
