I wanted to give Loki a turkey drumstick for his first birthday (as well as making him a cake, they can never feast too much Love Struck) but was wondering whether or not it might upset his stomach. He's used to eating chicken, so I assumed turkey would be the same, but would it be, or is it best not to bother with it until he's used to it?

Also, probably a stupid question, but in drumsticks they have those very thin bones, are those OK? They seem like they'd be easy to choke on, so thought might as well ask.

It may make him a little runny, Steff has turkey drumsticks but they are a little richer meat than chicken.. But you could still try him on smaller pieces of turkey until his birthday and then if they don't upset him he could still get a drumstick for his birthday Smile I asked the same question about the little thin bone in chicken drumsticks but Ella and Caryll said they were fine raw and Steff has never had a problem with them Big Grin

Turkey is not rich meat at all, it is lower in fat than chicken, but bare in mind too much of anything is not good so don't over do it.. I tend to take the bendy bones out ..just in case. Smile

The little bones are ok - they're very bendy & don't splinter, but if you're worried they're usually quite easy to either pull off or snip off with scissors or even nail clippers!

Turkey should be ok if he's ok with chicken. Strangely enough, Dempsey can eat a small amount of turkey thigh, but can't eat chicken at all!

Turkey Skin and other rich, fatty foods like Bacon, Sausages, etc. The high fat content in turkey skin can cause acute Pancreatitis in dogs.

It the skin with turkey that can cause upset bellies so you could always trim it off, but all the bones as long as try are raw are fine Smile
