A really good reason not to share your box of chocolates…
Chocolate is toxic and can be fatal for your pooch. Cacao beans contain theobromine that can stimulate the central nervous and cardiovascular system and increase heart rate and blood pressure in animals. There is no specific antidote for theobromine toxicity. Treatment is supportive and may include IV fluid, induce vomiting, use of activated charcoal or in more serious cases anti-seizure and/or cardiac medication to reduce tremors and regulate heart rates. Signs of chocolate toxicity are most commonly seen within 12 hours or less. Signs of chocolate toxicity include:
• Excitement, nervousness and trembling
• Vomiting and diarrhea
• Excessive thirst and urination
• Muscle spasms and seizures
• Coma and death
