Feeding Eggs to Dogs—Done Wrong, It Can Cause Kidney Failure

What happens if a dog eats boiled eggs?
Eating a moderate amount of boiled egg is beneficial to a dog's health, because eggs are rich in protein, minerals, and lecithin, and appropriate feeding can supplement nutrition and boost the dog's immunity. However, don't feed too much egg white, because egg white contains avidin, and too much can affect the dog's absorption of vitamin H (biotin). Second, never feed a dog raw eggs, because raw eggs may carry parasites or salmonella and easily harm the dog's health. Finally, although eggs are nutritious, don't overfeed them either, to avoid indigestion in the dog.
What happens if a myna bird eats pork?
A myna can occasionally eat a little minced pork for fat and protein with no harm. Don't overfeed at once (indigestion). Raw pork may carry parasites or salmonella, so cook it first. Avoid too much fatty pork (digestive burden). Mynas are omnivorous — base diet is grains and insects, with meat only as an occasional supplement.
