I have a one year old male yorkie. Since it started turning cool in the fall we have had one case of tonsilitis and ear infections after another. We get off [COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]antibiotics[/COLOR][/COLOR] and in a couple of weeks we are back at vets sick with another throat infection. Rolo goes outside to [COLOR=green! important][COLOR=green! important]potty[/COLOR][/COLOR], but I try to keep in a dry area and I don't let him stay outside very long. I do not bath him when he is sick. I have started trying to keep a sweater on him. I feed him nutri source puppy small bites dry food. Rolo goes to work with me most days so he does go in and out on a regular basis, but I try to keep him dry and warm. I don't know if this is normal or not; I can't imagine that it would be normal for a dog to stay sick. Other than the throat and ear issues Rolo is healthy. He weighs 4 lbs. Any suggestions or thoughts; my vet and I are at a loss.
