Left out chicken and smelly dog

[MrsDThaskala]

Hi, can you advise? Made a roast chicken yesterday for lunch, but didn’t put it in the fridge last night. Just in a Tupperware. Today, without thinking about it I have a few pieces of breast to our dog today, amongst his kibble. He’s been really smelly today. No sign of diarrhoea or anything loose, but DH said I shouldn’t have given him the chicken today. He seems fine today but now I’m having a panic. Do you think he’ll be okay?

I think he’ll probably be fine. Engraved on my memory is the sight of my dog (whippet) on a walk with ropes of deer intestines falling out of either side of his mouth, the result presumably of a wolf kill that we’d disturbed. He also regularly found and gnawed manky old deer feet and legs. Never had a stomach problem. I read recently that dogs have much stronger stomach acid than we do, precisely to deal with meat that would have us glued to the toilet for weeks.

In nature docs, animals like dogs eat carcasses for days, sometimes weeks.

My dog used to love finding and eating dead things that had died who knows how long ago.

My in laws leave their roast chicken out of the fridge and eat it the next day, and they're fine.

Presumably a dog has a more robust constitution given the shit and soil and grass they eat :/

My dogs eat raw chicken, so I am sure one day old, cooked chicken will be fine.
Like others, they've also eaten rotten, part decayed corpses they find in the woods with no ill effects.

He’ll be absolutely fine.

Keep an eye on the dog, extremely smelly wind was the first sign of pancreatitis in our dog but it'd be a regular issue not a one off. Ours started with the smelliest wind, then abdominal discomfort and yellow poo!! She had to be put on prescribed food supplemented with over cooked (slow cooker) chicken breast. As roast chicken can be fatty particularly the skin just keep an eye to ensure it didnt trigger a flare.

Recent thefts include.
Whole loaf of white bread.
Box of cherries with stones.
1 entire Verbena plant.
The head of a sunflower plant that hadn't even opened..
I hate that ddog..
Did i mention she's a twat in fur?

Chicken will be fine. My 3 Vizsla’s found a clearly dead fox carcass today and happily bought me it’s spine and a limb. Me however, I haven’t had the stomach for food ever since.

They descend from wolves. I'd give him the rest for dinner!
