Best Answer

Tonsillitis is very rare in cats except as a component of 'cat flu.' However, just like in humans, cat's and dog's tonsils can flare up and it's time to see your vet. The vet will try antibiotics first (usually TRIMETHOPRIM/SULFA) and if Tonsillitis reoccurs then the vet will remove them from the cat. WARNING: When your pet is on medication be sure you are around in case your pet has an allergic reaction to the medication. I don't give my pets any medication unless I am home and I keep a keen eye on them.
