A Milo question !!! Any Vets.

[Stuck]

Hi Folks,
Just a quick question. What's the chemical found in chocolate that builds up in a dogs system (if you feed them chocolate) that isn't good for them and is it found in Milo too ?.
Cheers,
Anthony.

Not a vet but a zoologist turned radiographer...

THEOBROMINE

google away...

So.......your dog just ate a 1kg can of milo?


No, I'm in more trouble than a pregnant nun with the Kitchen Dragon for giving my little hound a bit of Milo that the apprentice KD left in her cup.
Cheers,
Anthony.

Don't worry about it, unless the dog ate a whole block of chocolate or a whole can of milo.

My dumb dog ate a whole pack of rat-sack (left out by his infinitely dumber owner) and that caused a bit of racing around to find a vet, I can tell you. All OK in the end but the injections (vitamin K I think) were exxy.

yep, vitamin K is the stuff that gives the dog's blood it's consistency and allows it to clot. rat poison will destroy all of the vitamin K and the dog can actually bleed out through it's blood vessels and organs.
not a very happy time for the doggy.

What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?
i would probably try to fail:confused:
