14 FURRY FRIENDS Season of Love Courtesy of Leck Veterinary Hospital Winter is in full swing, so it’s always nice to warm things up with tokens of love and appreciation when Valentine’s Day comes around. The traditional chocolate and flowers are my favorite! But it’s also a good time for a reminder to put those goodies safely out of reach of both dogs and cats. The fat and sugar in chocolate can cause an upset stomach and this is what happens in most chocolate ingestion cases. However, chocolate can also be directly toxic because of a compound called theobromine. The more chocolate liquor there is in a product, the more theobromine there is. This makes baking chocolate the worst for pets, followed by semi-sweet and dark chocolate, then milk chocolate and chocolate flavored cakes and cookies. Signs of theobromine intoxication are vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, tremors, seizures, racing heart, rhythm progressing to abnormal rhythms, and death in severe cases. If the chocolate was eaten recently, it may be possible to induce vomiting; otherwise, hospitalization and support are needed until the chocolate has worked it’s way out of the system. A call to the Pet Poison Helpline, ASPCA Poison Control, or to your veterinarian can help calculate the risk, and go over the treatment options should you discover an empty box of chocolates at Fido’s feet. One of the most significant dangers to our feline friends comes in the form of true lily. Plant species from the Lilium (Easter Lily) and the Hemerocallis (Daylily) families will cause kidney failure and death in cats if ANY part of the plant is eaten. If a cat eats the equivalent of less than one leaf, it can become severely ill. They may vomit initially, then appear to be okay, but if treatment is delayed more than 18 hours, their kidneys will fail and they may die. Do not mess around with cats and lilies; make sure if you have these plants anywhere in or around your premises, your cat cannot access them. Should you suspect your cat has snacked on one, a visit to your veterinarian for blood monitoring and supportive care, is in order. As little as 6 ounces of milk chocolate is enough to cause a moderate to severe reaction in a twenty pound dog. So remember, to share the love, but hide the chocolate and flowers! Happy Valentine’s Day!
