Could the vets please comment on chocolate toxicity? After my Bobbin ate two Hershey's Kisses (an unsupervised raid into a wrapped xmas present), she had a seizure and went into a coma. Bobbin had to be put to sleep. The vet who autopsied commented that her chemistry looked extremely similar to chocolate poisoning cases he had seen in dogs and cats. Similarly, vets at the University Veterinary Teaching Hospital in both Madison-Wisconsin and Gainesville-Florida mentioned that feeding of even small amounts of chocolate could cause problems because the toxins were not expelled and built up in the body. What other theories are out there? I am now scared to death to even let one of my ferrets LICK chocolate. With the holiday season coming upon us, this is an important issue. - Erika (and Misty and Sasha and Lizzie) [Posted in FML issue 1382]
