FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – Thanksgiving may be a day of feast-ivities; however, veterinarians caution against over-sharing with pets as several holiday staples have the potential to make them sick. According to animal specialists, Black Friday is one of the busiest days for veterinary emergency rooms - and it's not because of shopping exhaustion. Although there are several food items pets can consume safely, some of the most popular dishes can leave them in terrible pain and others could even lead to death. Here's what not to feed your pet, according to animal experts: Turkey skin, gravy, butter and other fatty foods Can cause pancreatitis Ham This much sodium can be toxic to dogs Turkey bones Can cause gastrointestinal tears Grapes and raisins Can cause kidney failure Garlic, onions, chives, leeks, scallions and other foods of the Allium family Can cause oxidative damage to red blood cells, gastrointestinal distress, and anemia. Stuffing Often has above ingredients Nutmeg High doses can lead to hallucinations, confusion, raised heart rate, high blood pressure, dry mouth, abdominal pain, and possibly seizures. Chocolate Toxic for pets due to the theobromine and caffeine stimulants that cats and dogs cannot metabolize. Dough Can cause severe life-threatening bloating Sage Some dogs have an adverse reaction Sweets containing xylitol, found in many sugar-free products and baking ingredients including candies, cakes, and peanut butter. Creates a spike in insulin levels, leading to a dramatic drop in blood sugar and causing acute liver failure. Alcohol Animals are also prone to alcohol poisoning Certain nuts (macadamia, walnut, pistachio, almond, ect.) Macadamia nuts can lead to nut poisoning, causing fever, tremors, muscle weakness, and loss of coordination. Walnuts and pistachios are susceptible to mold and can create a fertile breeding ground for tremorgenic mycotoxins, which can be fatal. Almonds and other smaller nuts can be a choking hazard.
