He said that every year he gets numerous sick dogs brought in from eating turkey (mostly small dogs). I have researched this, and the information I have found is that the skin is fatty and can cause pancreatitis.
However, even giving just white meat can be dangerous as there is a chemical in some brands of turkey that is bad for dogs and there is no way of knowing which brands contain this chemical - so it's better to be safe than sorry. |
Funny you should post this. Mango was sick this week and her blood test showed elevated Amylase levels, which indicates a problem with the Pancreas. When I picked her up, the first thing my Vet said to me was NOT to give her any Turkey on Thanksgiving.
I'll be sure today that no-one gives her any left overs,
Lauren
