Cooked bones are dangerous for dogs. They can splinter and cause injuries to the mouth and teeth as well as gastric upset or intestinal blockages. Round bones can become stuck around your dog's lower jaw and may require a veterinary visit to remove. Dogs can eat a few nibbles of plain turkey, pumpkin, sweet potato, and SELECT plain, unseasoned veggies during Thanksgiving prep. They should not have any bones, fatty foods, or food that contains onion, garlic, or xylitol. Keep alcohol put away too. When everyone gathers at the table, consider having a new toy available as a safe distraction.

The CDC is recommending flu vaccination for everyone 6 months and older, with few exceptions, to prevent infection. This season, higher dose or adjuvanted flu vaccines are preferred in people 65 and older over standard dose flu vaccines. The high-dose and adjuvanted shots are Fluzone High-Dose Quadrivalent vaccine, Flublok Quadrivalent recombinant flu vaccine, and Fluad Quadrivalent adjuvanted flu vaccine. Since this 2022-2023 season is expected to be severe in comparison to the last two seasons, antiviral treatments may be prescribed to many who become infected. Options at home include oral oseltamivir and baloxavir or inhaled zanamivir. Antiviral treatment should be started within 48 hours of symptom onset to see their greatest benefit so seeing a prescriber early is key.
