Easter Eggs!<br />
Did you know that<br />
chocolate contains a toxic<br />
component, theobromine?<br />
Humans easily<br />
metabolize theobromine,<br />
but the process of breaking<br />
down theobromine in dogs<br />
is much slower. This allows<br />
toxic levels to build up in<br />
the dogs system. If a<br />
dog consumes large<br />
amounts of chocolate,<br />
then theobromine toxins<br />
can cause muscle tremors,<br />
seizures, and an irregular<br />
heartbeat also vomiting, diarrhoea, and<br />
hyperthermia (high body temperature) can<br />
occur at toxic levels.<br />
