Hi all,

Maybelline got sick over the holidays. It began on Christmas with runny bowels and then throwing up. I had changed to a cook at home recipe found here and adding a supplement about three weeks ago but this started several weeks after the diet change. I know my husband had been feeding her fried turkey Christmas day and I asked him to stop but then he told me yesterday that he was still giving her some.

Anyway, he took her to the vet this AM and he said he examined her thoroughly and said she had tonsillitis. I have never heard of a dog getting tonsillitis, but about 2 weeks ago I had a severe case of tonsillitis and was hospitalized for a week. Is it possible for dogs to pick up our germs? This is really weird...

The vet gave her an antibiotic IM and then we are to continue by mouth for 10 days. Thankfully he also did a culture because I really thought for sure it was pancreatitis due to the fried turkey.
