Vets warn of doggy death by chocolate

'Tis the season to pig out on copious amounts of chocolate, but an Easter egg overdose could prove deadly for some members of the family.

Chocolate, vets say, can kill dogs.

And some varieties are more lethal than others.

Cooking and dark chocolate are the most dangerous, followed by cakes and chocolate-coated sweets, the RSPCA says.

Theobromine and caffeine are the nasty ingredients and their effects are dose-related, meaning even a nibble could affect a small dog like a chihuahua.

But the problem is, dogs tend to gorge.

That's why, the RSPCA says, it's up to pet owners to ensure their Easter goodies are kept out their dog's reach.

Although it's easier said than done, people must refrain from the temptation of sneaking their furry friends a chocolate treat.

RSPCA NSW chief vet Magdoline Awad says signs of overdose, which may not be noticeable for a few hours, include vomiting, diarrhoea, increased thirst, weakness, tremors and seizures.

Consumption can also induce a high or irregular heart rate.

Dr Awad says if your dog begins showing signs of illness, rush it to the vet as death can occur within 12-36 hours.

"There is no antidote for chocolate toxicity," she said.

"However, if a vet sees your dog in the first two to four hours of eating the chocolate, he or she may be able to induce vomiting and give your pet drugs to prevent further absorption into the body."

其实轻量的还是不会致命的，比如Yuki和Hammer都有品尝过了……
但还是努力禁止比较好，实在太危险
我想这个新闻的意思是提醒Easter期间大家要小心家里放置的巧克力被狗狗偷吃到

是啊，一定要放置好！我家大CO连药丸都能吃了，更别说巧克力了
我现在家中全部进入“警戒”状态，什么东西都不敢随手一丢

从来都没有想过要给CHOCKY吃巧克力，我太自私了

晓风残星

人吃的choc 好像狗狗不能吃的， 对他的的心脏不好！

不管是不是Easter，巧克力是绝对不能喂给狗狗吃的，会吃死的。

第一次知道狗狗不能吃巧克力，我同学家的拉不拉多自己会想尽办法偷或者抢巧克力吃，我还以为狗都很爱吃这种零食
