What would happen if my dog ate a piece of cooked turkey meat that's been outside for a month? In 85 degree weather? Is botulism a concern?

I would be concerned about Kalli getting sick from it. That's some pretty spoiled meat. Watch out for vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, and lethargy. If you see any of those signs, take her into a vet immediately.
