This is all interesting bc so many of the specialists I've known recommend potatoes and I've not heard of issues. I think about 20 folks here use Susan Davis, and almost all of those dogs are on potatoes (some on sweet potatoes). I actually prefer white potato over white rice for sick dogs too, they seem to snap right back and like the potato better than the rice (taste, I mean).
I still don't understand how potato, or a "carb/glucose" (when it comes down to it) would inflame the intestine. I could maybe understand an interaction during pancreatitis if the pancreas was spilling amylase, but otherwise the physiology doesn't make sense to me yet. I'll have to look into this more.

This is totally random and off topic... but you know what's so strange? Jackson does NOT like any potato "products" whatsoever. Human food-wise.
I tried to give him a bit of baked potato off of my plate (yes, he gets table scraps occasionally, lol, I'm a sucker) and he refused to eat it. Then, my little brother dropped a piece of french fry on the ground, he went over to get it.... spit it out. I tried again, I put a french fry out to him, he wouldn't TOUCH it. Potato chip... same thing. Funniest thing ever. He's so finicky. Most dogs I know would eat anything dropped on the ground. |
