If you’re still wondering why Santa didn’t leave anything under the tree…

That’s one fine looking pooch you have and yes, dogs have tonsils.

It appears that hers are swollen, perhaps infected. You need to get her to the vet ASAP. Then go to the grocery store and buy a lot of ice cream for her recovery!

Yes, my first Golden had to have hers removed.

Yes and they are connected directly to your wallet.

If I see that up close and personal, my concern lies with the canines and incisors rather than the tonsils.

Heck of a picture. I don't see no tonsils.

Hey, I just noticed dogs don't have that hangy-down thingy that humans have in the back of their throats! What's with that?
