Yorkie Yakker | Tonsillitis Hello! I just wanted to ask.... Has anyone ever had a yorkie that had tonsillitis?? I have only been a yorkie owner (my baby's name is Stella) since March, but when she was about 5 months old she got tonsillitis! I asked the breeder i got her from if she ever had a yorkie with it and she said she hadn't. SO i was just wondering is it rare? |

| I am a member of the Papvilion forum and there was a dog who had to have his tonsils actually removed just about a week or two ago. I've read that it is very rare for dogs to have tonsillitis. I've read that some people believe that there could be a link between genetically modified corn (corn is sometimes an ingredient in dog food) and tonsillitis. You could google it and see if you find anything.

Yorkie Yakker | Thanks everyone! I thought it was strange. lol. I read that if a dog does get tonsillitis that it is usually a small dog. She is over it now The only noticeable symptoms she had was that she made a coughing sound (Almost like choking) and she didn't have as much appetite or energy. I think mainly with the decreased appetite thing it had to do with the fact that her throat was really sore. I am getting another yorkie puppy in about 3 weeks so hopefully we can avoid having it happen again. Though i don't know how likely it is to happen twice. ll. |

| During an exam when Zoey was in her first year the vet asked me if she barked a lot because he tonsills were inflamed. I was stunned - I didn't know dogs have tonsills. She wasn't given any meds but when she started to bark I would tell her, "Stop barking, you're going to hurt your tonsills." lolol
