You can see the thyreoid glands and I never saw them on turkey or chicken necks.

But parrots do have thyreoid glands in their necks, so are turkeys and chickens that much diferent?

They have thyreoid glands but normally they sit deeper than in mammals - as far as I can remember, it´s very long time ago

. But you see the gland it is sitting on the structures when the skin is gone. Chicken shouldn´t be such a problem cause it is not very big but if you feed several times a week the gland of a cattle it is like giving it as a drug.

But when you feed turkey and chicken necks it is usually only the spine, not the trachea, esophagus etc.

But many people feed cattle throats which are still with Trachea and Oesophagus and on the Trachea sits the Thyreoidea

I've just read an article about the lack of iodine in the organism of people (this is a very important problem in LT, the lack of iodine, every time I go to doctors - and this is very rare in fact - they send me to check my thyroid

) Maybe there would be useful to put some extra iodine to dog's diet? Like dried seaweed on the daily meal? That could not make any harm

If you feed them saltwater fish this should be enough but giving a little bit more with seaweed won´t harm them.

Well, saltwater fish is not her favorite meal, so she gets it about two or four times a month, not sure if it is enought. Will try to add some more seaweeds too. Thanks
