tooth ache, throat hurt

My dog had the same thing. It was an infection in her jaw. You need to take it to the vet soon because in a couple of days it won't be able to open it's mouth at all and won't be able to eat or drink. The vet gave my dog a shot and a prescription for predesone and it cleared it up pretty quick. Is your dog a large dog? This is a rare infection and usually only happens to bigger dogs. Good Luck.

I would definitely take her to the vet right away. If she has some type of infection in her mouth and throat, it could travel through her system and be deadly for her. She may have broken a tooth also, and may need to have it pulled. I had a couple of friends who had dogs that this type of thing happened to. It is better to have it checked out by the vet before it gets worse. It will definitely be affecting her ability to eat and drink also which is a big consideration. Good luck!

Sometimes a bad ear infection will cause the jaw joint to swell.....ck with your vet, to be safe.
