Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My little 5 year old yorkie has a swollen neck underneath and seems to be in pain ,but not severe. She is shaking and lying around, but if i give her alittlecarpropen she is back to herself in a few hours. what could this be ? and i am almost out of the meds.
Hi...this seems to be torticollis, which means a spasm of the neck muscles. Sometimes it can be very painful. You can use any of the over the counter anti pain medications licensed in your country for this age. If not settled I suggest you contract your pediatrician and get a prescription for anti inflammatory and muscle relaxant medications.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
