| Do not give him pork. Pork has too much fat on it and can cause pancreatitis. Chicken or turkey are both fine, but turkey is actually more healthy because it is rich in amino acids. Since you'll probably having turkey anyway, just save him some and give him that. |

| I would vote Turkey -- but it will not let me vote. I plan on giving each of mine a little serving of turkey for a Thanksgiving treat -- just no fat, skin, or bones.

Donating YT 14K Club Member | http://dogcarebasics.com/dog_care_th...g_turkey.shtml Thanksgiving Turkey and Acute Pancreatitis in Dogs Thanksgiving and turkey go together. Thanksgiving is also about family and sharing and since a dog is part of the family many people share their turkey with their dogs. Many of those same people however, often end up visiting the veterinarian within the next week, agonizing over a sick dog. Turkey, turkey trimmings and broth are extremely high in fat and when eaten by dogs, often causes violent diarrhea. In most dogs, the bout is short lived but still quite painful and can result in moderate dehydration. Some of these dogs may develop an acute anal gland blockage up to a week later, requiring veterinary attention. For more information, see our article on anal glands. Some dogs can develop a potentially life-threatening condition called pancreatitis. Pancreatitis in dogs, or inflammation of the pancreas, can occur in dogs and in cats for several reasons, including trauma, infection, obesity, and some types of drugs, . Often the cause is unknown, but the role of fatty foods in causing this problem is suspected, especially in dogs. "The job of the pancreas is to aid the digestion fats, starches, and proteins by secreting enzymes into the small intestines. When inflamed, the enzymes are released into the pancreas itself and that the pancreas starts to digest itself. That starts a vicious cycle of more enzyme release and more auto digestion. Digestive enzymes can leak into the bloodstream and quickly destroy cells and tissues in other parts of the body. Signs of pancreatitis in dogs are vomiting, diarrhea, depression, and not eating after recently eating foods high in fat. To diagnose the problem, a veterinarian will need to take blood and may perform an ultrasound as well as other tests. Still thinking about ladling a little gravy on Fido's dog food? It's hard to say no to those begging eyes. If you want to include your dog in your Thanksgiving celebration, try a small amount of healthy snacks like steamed vegetables or a dab of potatoes without the butter. Make Thanksgiving Day a happy, healthy event for the whole family, including those with four paws.

| I thought I had heard something about Turkey and the runs. I figured I'd just play it safe and make them chicken and rice. I'll have to look into the veggies, that would be good mixed in too.

| Yep, chicken is better, but you can give your baby a little bit of turkey. It's the gravy and stuffing that do the damage (and the popcorn!) . I made that mistake years ago with my little Pomeranian and almost lost him. I learned a hard lesson to be very careful with their tiny tummies. |
