 Turkey and dogs??
Hi,
This is Sue again, Buddy, Dixie and now Henry's Mom. Henry is a 5 mos. old Shih-Poo rescue that was about to be put down by an unscrupulous vet--I was supposed to foster him and wound up adopting him.
Ok Buddy, my rescue Yorkie!! Buddy flipped out all day yesterday (tongue darting, sniffing the air, body humped, tail between legs, heart thumping out of his body, hiding in dark closet, being MEAN) --my sweet natured Buddy--to the new puppy etc. I was in tears--never have I have seen this kind of bizarre behavior in any dog and certainly not my sweet rescue, Buddy. He has the most even temperment of any dog I have EVER known which is why this is all so strange and upsetting.
Now, Buddy is the dog, if you all remember, who has severe, consistent and chronic IBD that I got under control with the wonderful organic supplements I have written this site about. These wonderful supplements, I believe saved Buddy's digestive life.
But all day yesterday he was totally bizarre as though in a constant panic attack. His body posture and temperment yesterday spoke of pain but until today I did not piece anything food-wise (I feed him organically along with the supplements now). And then I remembered that for the first time ever, I fed Buddy turkey. Yes, it was organic turkey but I am still wondering if the skin juices or the skin itself (I thought I cleaned it pretty well) set off a mild pancreatic attack.
DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPENING WITH DOGS AND TURKEY? I have a vet appt tomorrow and WAS going to demand a CT scan because of his absolutely heartbreaking, bizarre behaviors but tonite, almost 48 hours later, and after pooping FIVE TIMES TODAY AND VOMITING TWICE, he is just fine again. And of course, I now have the vet appt that I might not need--not if I AM THE ONE who set off a mild pancreatic attack. But, I am keeping the appt since I have it.
I truly would like input on this wierd situation I have. Can turkey be bad for some dogs??Thanks so much, everyone. YorkieSue |
