PDSA, the UK’s largest veterinarian charity, has issued guidelines for chocolate poisoning after a dog was rushed to a clinic after the pooch ate a two-pound share bag of Cadbury Mini Eggs.
“If your pet gets their paws on something they shouldn’t, seek immediate treatment.”
“If they eat enough chocolate, the theobromine in it will make their brain, heart, nerves and muscles go into overdrive,” Nina added.“As a general rule, the darker the chocolate, the more cocoa solids/theobromine it will contain and the more toxic it’s likely to be,” the advisory stated. “However, even chocolate with less cocoa solids can be toxic if enough is eaten.”
Charlie, a Labrador-Staffordshire Terrier mix, was rushed to the local PDSA Pet Hospital after eating Cadbury Mini Eggs.Theobromine, as well as caffeine, can cause certain symptoms in dogs, including excitement, agitation, restlessness, hyperactivity, diarrhea, vomiting, excessive drinking and bladder use.
