This set of comments is almost 10 months old, but I really wanted to say something here. I posted ages ago about our dog, and at the time I thought giving him some milk and honey for three days along with one pill of prednisone was making him well. You see, our vet, who is quite good, been with him 30 years, said Smokey's throat area was irritated, so everyday things made the dog wretch, like cigarette smoke (we both smoke), dust, etc.
