Tonsils are lymphatic tissue and respond to infections like other lymph nodes. Sore throat/tonsillitis are synonymous and not at all unusual in dogs. For example, the first snow of the season usually would bring in a flood of 'sore throats', as the dogs are fascinated with the snow and 'eat' it to excess. Usual treatment is a week of antibiotics.

Another cause of sore throats are infected gums or other teeth/dental problems.
