Swollen Glands

[Kirislin]

I've noticed Neko often has swollen glands in her throat. She seems otherwise very well, she's lively, active and playful and always has a good appetite. I took her to Barry Haywood yesterday, he's a vet and chiro. I'd taken her to see him in his role as a chiro but asked him to look at her swollen glands as well. He thought it might be her tonsils as they looked a little bit red.

Although he hasn't prescribed anything for them he said if it's persistant she might need anti biotics and if it keeps recurring sometimes dogs' tonsils are removed.

I wouldn't want to resort to that. I'm wondering if there's any natural treatment that might boost her immune system. She seems to be really healthy and even the swollen glands dont seem to bother her, I'd probably not even have noticed them if she wasn't so fine coated and skinned.

have you thought about a blood test to see what's happening in regards to infections?

No, it hadn't occurred to me, I might look into getting a blood test but I cannot afford to go hunting if nothing's found.

Is she teething?

Is she teething?

I dont think so, unless they get wisdom teeth like we do later on. She's 9 1/2 months old.

Ah ok, I couldn't remember her age, sorry.
