Scooter has Tonsilitis Well, call me stupid, but I didn't know dogs had tonsils...never really thought about it. The vet says Scooter's are red and swollen. He gave him an injection of 2 different medications and gave me Clavimox to give him twice a day until it's all gone. He said the meds should clear up the problem, but, if the coughing doesn't clear up w/the antibiotics, he'll x-ray to check on the trachea. He checked him thoroughly...I know that Scooter's too young really for Congestive Heart Failure, but I asked the Vet to check him for that too. We lost our little boy, Chipper, to CHF and I'm so nervous when Scooter coughs. He said his heart was just fine, no murmer. Thank you all for your prayers!! Hugs to each of you for caring. |
I hope the meds clear up the tonsilittis and he is fine after that. |
Poor Scooter! I think he needs some ice cream. :getwellso Sheilagh |
If Scooters tonsils do not clear up with the medication, would they then do a tonsillectomy .... as with humans? I too, have never come across this ... but then that is why I am a member of YT. ;) I sure hope Scooter feels better real soon. Prayers for quick healing coming your way.....:heart to |
We have had some crazy weather and I have had two with tonsilitis, Angie and Sprout. It was the second time in three week Angie had it, she got two shots and the same antibiotic the first time and about a week after I quit the antibiotic, she got it a second time and he put her on another kind of antibiotic. The second round of antibiotics cleared it up. My two kept sounding like they had something in there throat. Hope Scooter feels better real soon |
