Raw egg is a bad idea for another reason. There is an enzyme in raw egg white that will interfere with the intestine flora creating a deficiency in Vit.K. Cooking the egg will destroy that enzyme and not cause a Vit K deficiency. If you want to give raw egg, yolk only and that is where most of the protein is anyway. BTW for those with arthritis or older dogs with arthritis, egg yolk is an inflammatory, makes it worse. |
