It just not something you want to take a chance with. Not only is it life threatening, you can expect a bill of $1,000-2,000 to treat it. |
Actually the vets I've spoken too about turkey, said turkey is fine for them(white meat only), but, not to give a lot of it, and NOT to give the dark meat..I learned that on my own, as it's much richer and causes diarrhea.. |
I personally wouldn't give it to them. It's funny you mentioned this because yesterday I walked in my moms house (we have been over here for a couple of days) and she was feeding my babies just a little bit of food off her plate (she is such a sucker when it comes to them whining :rolleyes: lol) and I said, "You aren't giving them bacon are you?" she said, "Omg! Yes! Am I not supposed to be??" - lol poor thing, she didn't know. She got so scared when I told her that they aren't supposed to have pork. Luckily though, she only gave them teeny tiny little pieces, and just a couple of them, so everything was ok. |
Multiple factors can contribute to the development of pancreatitis. Certain medications, infections; metabolic disorders including hyperlipidemia (high amounts of lipid in the blood) and hypercalcemia (high amounts of calcium in the blood); and trauma and shock can be associated with the development of pancreatitis. Middle-aged dogs appear to be at increased risk of developing pancreatitis; as a breed, Schnauzers and Yorkshire Terriers appear to be more prone to pancreatitis. Nutrition also plays a role. Dogs with diets high in fat, or dogs who 'steal' or are fed greasy 'people food' seem to have a high incidence of the disease. |
Thanks for the replies. I feel kind of guilty because i have given them a piece before also.I have never given them ham or other fatty meats. I learned the hard way after giving them pieces of leftover steak. Ive had dogs all my life and I have to admit it is difficult for me to believe that you have to be so careful. I fed my other dogs, all different breeds, name brand dog food which Ytalkers probably think is terrible, plus I know I gave them all kinds of table scraps and none of them ever got sick. But, I know the fact that I never had a problem doesnt mean I wont in the future so I certainly will head this advice as I I wouldnt want to do anything to hurt my dogs. My Mom will listen also as she wouldnt do anything to hurt them either. Thanks for the info. |

I had said that sometimes pork is okay for dogs because I don't think there are any studies that have come to another conclusion. Usually the pork that is used in dog food is liver because it is mostly connective tissue and people can't digest it...yummy. I suppose some people do use lean pork when they homecook for their dogs. It is just fine to do scientifically speaking but I would never do that with a Yorkie. The risks seem way too high. |
i never let mine have anything with pork or beacon in it. Well, the only treats that they get in Yorkie Yummies, Bully stix or plain boiled chicken. Eventhough, my sister in law sometimes give their beagle beacon and i must say the beagle has some weight issues..:rolleyes: |

I don't know the fat content of hot dogs but I would not take a chance. Besides all the preservatives are not healthy. Turkey bacon might be okay but it can't be fried, can't be salty and can't contain turkey skin. I wouldn't try it. I would use plain WHITE meat chicken (like breasts). Boil them with no seasonings. No chicken skin or fat. Just the meat. |
Thanks for this! I was gonna ask, when y'all say "boiled chicken" are you just throwing a piece of raw chicken breast into a pot of boiling water? How long do you boil it for? Thx! D- |

You can cook it for however long you want as long as it's done. |

:thumbup: you are exactly right . |
I had heard that ham and bacon specifically were no-no's, but I avoid all pork altogether...I figure, why take the chance? |
my opinion...I wouldn't do it...Maybe she could give them a tiny peice of dry toast? |
