Doodle Sore Throat?

Roo has been on Clavamox, fortiflora, and Rhymadil (sp? anti inflammatory for dogs) for about ten days. He had an infection in his anal glands. That is cured, but he now has some funny symptoms:

Even though he is a total chowhound, he is eating about half of his food and very slowly. Normally he eats in about 30 seconds. He seems like he wants to eat more, looks at me, picks at his remaining food then just sighs and lays down by it. The laying down in is normal it is to guard it from Tigger until I pick it up. He also has the hiccups many times a day. Still pooping normally, no more scooting

I took him back to the vet. Diagnosis - tracheitis, i.e. sore throat and another week of Rhymadil and was told to feed him chicken and rice or canned food to keep him eating. Also was told the hiccups were actually small stetches of a little dry cough

Anybody out there had a similar experience - I, of course am thinking throat cancer. I need reassurance or at least someone who has heard of a doggy sore throat.
