Why can't dogs eat chocolate! What if a dog eats chocolate by mistake

Friends with dogs should know that dogs can't eat chocolate because they will be poisoned, but many friends don't understand why dogs eat chocolate will be poisoned? The following sihai.com Xiaobian will give you popular science. Oh ~ come and have a look

Why dogs can't eat chocolate:

Chocolate is processed from cocoa beans and contains a variety of methyl xanthine derivatives, including caffeine and theobromine.

Theobromine in chocolate will act on the central nervous system and myocardium of dogs, thus poisoning dogs.

Both humans and cats can metabolize theobromine, but the digestive system of dogs does not.

Methylxanthine can stimulate the dog's central nervous system and make its heart rate rise sharply, resulting in a variety of poisoning symptoms. Chocolate is very harmful to dogs.

What if the dog eats chocolate:

1. The first method is to induce vomiting. You can feed your dog a spoonful of hydrogen peroxide. Of course, you must drink it with water. If necessary, it can be mixed with some other ice cream. If the dog does not vomit, you must feed it again and induce vomiting again. And keep walking with your dog.

2. Dilute chocolate if the dog does not vomit successfully. Then you must stop feeding hydrogen peroxide. Eating too much can also be harmful. Then be sure to let the dog eat his favorite food to effectively absorb moisture and dilute chocolate. Some boiled milk, of course.

3. Find a veterinarian as soon as possible, so be sure to find a veterinarian, because the cost of treating this disease is not very high, and it can save the dog's life. I believe that as long as you are a veterinarian, you will never die.
