Who Knew? We made a terrible mistake with our Zoe this Thanksgiving. We gave her turkey. We never knew turkey could make a dog so sick. She was fine thanksgiving day and the next day but Saturday she threw up and then she became very lethargic. All we gave her was some white meat turkey, We thought it was like chicken. We took her to the vet on Sunday and the vet took xrays and blood work. She also put her on sub fluids because she was very dehydrated and gave her two shots She was sent home with antibiotics and pepsid. We are waiting to hear the results of the blood work. |
Thanksgiving dinner is a no no for our sweet yorkies. So sorry that your Zoe has been ill. Do hope she is much better now. |
oh, so sorry, I knew, my son is a Vet Tech and he always reminds all the family that Turkey is a NO NO for our dogs,he works in an emergency vet clinic and said that thanksgiving is one of the MOST busy nights in there due to people feeding turkey to their dogs... wishing your Zoe a quick recovery... |
What is wrong with turkey? I've never heard of this being an issue. I've fed my dogs turkey for the past 20 years without incident. I do always make sure my pup just gets plain white meat cut up, no gravy or anything, as that can cause stomache upset. But, I've never known turkey was a bad dog food...even many premium brands have turkey in them. |
my son said is the seasoning in the turkey that makes the dogs sick... if you take a piece of white turkey meat and boil it in plain water and give it to your dog is safe,but a piece of seasoned turkey can be very bad for the dogs.. that is all i know, I will ask him more when he comes home.. |

OP - I'm sorry your pup didn't tolerate her treat well. Sounds like she will be ok. |
I also didn't know turkey was a no-no. Roxi had just a couple of little tiny pieces. An hour later she threw it all up. My poor baby. Now I know better. |
It was four Thanksgivings ago that my Piccolo was in the emergency hospital for three days getting fluids for Pancreatitis. Turkey is nothing to mess around with, in my opinion. We did not even give Piccolo turkey, I just saw her lick a little turkey grease that was on a towel. It was a very awful way to learn how to be a better pet owner, poor thing, and just glad she survived. |
Hope she makes a ast recovery. Grease if it was basted, and sometimes they inject spices and fluid. Boiled Chicken breast and rice is all we will give. We keep all dogs off People food. I do not eat their food, and they will not eat mine. |
I'm really glad this was posted. Our Oz got some turkey from his grandpa about a month back and he was sooooo constipated for a few days. I had no idea turkey fat and the like wasn't good for puppies. From now on, Oz is in a turkey-free zone!! Personally, I don't like feeding my puppy ANY people food, but my b/f and his family are often giving him food. It make me angry :mad: We have so many actual doggy treats around, there's just no need to give him table scraps and junk food. |

I'm shocked to hear this. Nutmeg occasionally gets turkey (no seasoning though) and has never had any problems. In fact for Thanksgiving she got turkey, carrots, squash, turnip and potatoes and loved it. She is also on a board certified home cooked diet (she's a picky little thing) and one of the recipes includes turkey although most of the recipes include ground lean beef and chicken (better sources of protein). Interesting to hear this though I guess.... |
