| see, my question isnt that silly is it?! Well...Bloo hasnt got any from what i can see, unless they are microscopic size!!!  |
| Excellent question. from Merck Vetinary Manual Etiology: Tonsillitis is common in dogs but rare in cats. In dogs, it seldom occurs as a primary disease, but when present it is most frequently seen in small breeds. It usually is secondary to nasal, oral, or pharyngeal disorders (eg, cleft palate); chronic vomiting or regurgitation (eg, from megaesophagus); or chronic coughing (eg, with bronchitis). Chronic tonsillitis may occur in brachycephalic dogs in association with pharyngitis accompanying soft palate elongation and redundant pharyngeal mucosa. Chronic tonsillitis in young dogs is thought to represent maturation of pharyngeal defense mechanisms. Escherichia coli , Staphylococcus aureus , and hemolytic streptococci are the pathogenic bacteria most often cultured from diseased tonsils. Plant fibers or other foreign bodies that lodge in the tonsillar fossa may produce a localized unilateral inflammation or a peritonsillar abscess. Other physical and chemical agents may cause irritation of the oropharynx and one or both tonsils. Tonsillitis may also accompany neoplastic tonsillar masses because of physical trauma or secondary bacterial infection.  The dog tonsils in this picture are enlarged. they are normally difficult to see because they are a long way back and usuallly hidden slightly in a fold of tissue called the tonsillar crypt, so sometimes unless they are swollen you can't actually see them. So I guess the fact that you could't see Bloo's is good. |
| Yes. :lol: Sorry - couldn't resist  You just made it too easy!! I'm not blonde, but my sister insists I'm "blonde at the roots".  |
| ^^^^^^^^ I like your sister's sense of humour.  |
 I dont get it ....  |
| You probably haven't seen any photos of Tammy, she has dark hair but her sister thinks she is a bit dizzy so she is saying that really Tammy is blonde but that she dyes her hair dark so you can only see the blonde at the roots when the colour starts to grow out. wow that's a long sentence I hope it makes sense. |
