Please, if you can support the show. I have recently read an article that Dog owners have been advised to avoid feeding their pets raw chicken after researchers found a link between the meat and a rare and potentially fatal form of canine paralysis. Researchers at the University of Melbourne's U-Vet Werribee Animal Hospital found dogs which eat raw chicken meat, especially chicken necks, have an increased risk of developing the paralysing condition polyradiculoneuritis, also known as APN. Chicken necks have long been recommended to pet owners for dental health, especially for smaller dog breeds, and are readily available in supermarkets. The study's findings confirmed a "significant association" between APN and smaller canines. Further to this I have recently heard a case of therapy or pat dog participant being told they cannot bring their dogs to care homes if they are feeding a raw died. In the case of raw chickens they are worried about passing on salmonella infections.
