I told him no, i dont feed my babies table food and then i remembered the turkey my hubby gave him. The vet said that had to be it. After a few days, he got better and i havent fed any of mine tablefood since. I actually thought i was going to lose him over that. I will never again feed them anything like that. |
Usually turkey doesn't hurt them, if it's white meat. Now, I do know they can get sick on the dark meat, as it's much richer. I have given mine about 3-4 little bites of turkey before, but, it's never made them sick. Infact, the vets have all told me the white turkey is fine. I'm just not big on giving mine people food, other than the veggies, fruits,etc
