Default Cough

This morning I was getting ready for work and my husband had Gizmo out on the couch with him. Next thing I know, I was blow drying my hair and I hear this hacking and high pitched wheezing sound. I stopped the hair drier and went out to see Giz trying to what looked like hacking up a hair ball.
I told me husband to go have him get a drink and he did but continued to wheeze and hack. So, almost panicking, I called the vet and my husband had to take him while I went to work.
Panicking at work, my husband called to tell me that Gizmo didn't have a fever and the vet said he was healthy, however he had an inflamed tonsil. She didn't think it was kennel cough however he has been put on a round of antibiotics and robitussin.

My poor little man. Hasn't been feeling good at all since his 4 month shots on Monday.

Anyone else Yorkie ever had an inflamed tonsil? They don't have tonsil surgery for dogs do they? My goodness, that'll be next.
