This is the time you try new recipes and strange cooking methods are unearthed @ this period; some you can stomach, others end up in your pet’s bowl during the holidays landing him in the emergency ward of the veterinary clinic.
The cases of sick dogs with diarrhea and vomiting as major signs increase during the holidays.
VETERINARY MEDICINE: YOU AND YOUR DOG AT CHRISTMAS
This season there is so much food around; leftovers from parties, shows, eateries are literally tossed to pet owners, who gladly collect and dump in their freezers.
The food on its own may have been prepared with all food safety handling methods observed, BUT,BUUUUUUUUTT the problem starts with how the left over’s are handled, stored and processed.
The leftover’s are from different sources ,using different ingredients such as jollof rice, fried rice, coconut rice, curry rice, with beef,chicken,fish,entrails e.t.c.
Everything is mixed together, put in a goo-die bag and bam in the freezer.
The goo-die bag is brought out to thaw; the required portion is taken out, processed and given to your dog.
The same process is repeated at another meal time, and your pet enjoys the meal everybody goes to bed happy.
The next day your pet is going to wake up sick with vomiting and diarrhea and he will need care to prevent a fatal incidence.
