Tonight, I caught him licking the air and opening his mouth continuously (like domino yawns), so I checked his mouth for foreign bodies. He likes to chew on sticks and rocks, so we've pried a few things out of his teeth over the years. And thankfully, he's always been a great sport about it. Unfortunately, its not a piece of the yard.
His left tonsil is swollen up and quite horrid looking. No swelling in his throat or neck otherwise. So far, he's drinking and eating completely normal, running around like a wacko, begging for treats, etc. I'm going to keep an eye on him, especially his temperature and try a salt water rinse tomorrow. I'm hoping this subsides on its own but we'll likely be taking him to the vet next week.
Poor Doodle.
