Boston sore throat?
I have a spayed 5 yo Boston female. Earlier this season she began
"reverse sneezing" excessively. I took her to the vet, he said she had some signs of sore throat. He gave her a course of antibiotics, which I gave her on schedule and completely. She perked up, and the smelly breath went away... Until recently, the honking has started again, she refuses food (but she's never been very food motivated) and seems to be a bit under par..and the smelly breath has returned. This is the south, and this year the sugar cane has been a terrible allergen for even me. Yes, I'm taking her back to the vet, but I like to arm myself with as much knowledge as possible. The short snout breeds have issues with snoring, panting, heat, etc, and I'm guessing that some nasal/throat things go with that. Any insight will be appreciated, and I repeat, Yes, I'm taking her back to the vet..so don't flog me about "what did the vet say?" I'm going to post this on dog behavior also. Happy Thanksgiving all! Thanks. Perry |

Boston sore throat?
My Boston does that once in a while. I think it is phlegm that gets caught
in the throat because at the end he kind of hacks something up into his mouth. So check for what could be creating the phlegm i.e. temperature is too cold or allergies to something. wrote in message ... I have a spayed 5 yo Boston female.
