ROTT N CHATTER, November 1992, Volume 1 Number 4

 

                          DON'T BE A TURKEY

 

Thanksgiving is just around the corner.  I guess it is time to remind you

about keeping your Thanksgiving dinner to yourself.  I know those pleading

eyes, "growling" stomaches and drooling lips are very hard to resist.

 

Any bone can be dangerous to our dogs, particulary if it is small or has

been cooked and has become brittle.  Turkey, chicken, ribs and with a

Rottweiler even small "O" bones or "T" bones are all a no-no.  I know that

some of you will probably say that when you were a kid your dogs always had

bones.

 

Years ago whenever a dog got sick and ultimately died, it was often thought

that the dog was poisoned, or got Distemper or something similar.  The dog

could have actually died from a blockage or splinters perforating an

intestine caused from a bone it had eaten days earlier.  How many dogs can

you remember that were taken in for an autopsy to determine the cause of

death?  Just something think about.

 

Let this holiday be a real day of THANKSGIVING>
