| 118715 | 2003-02-06 01:12:00 | Is that law for 'Akl City' or for tha 'Greater AKL region', cause we have some dong round here that yould realy use locking up (or a bullet). | nz_liam (845) | ||
| 118716 | 2003-02-06 01:19:00 | I believe it is for tha 'Greater AKL region'. So no matter where you go, you'll need a leash on.:p >>cause we have some dong round here that yould realy use locking up (or a bullet). If they are as bad as that,, I think the owners will end up getting fined for breach of law. There is to be increased "dog controll" numbers. |

| 118718 | 2003-02-06 22:33:00 | Chocolate contains theobromine (a compound similar to caffeine) which is poisonous to dogs . A dose of 50 mg/lb can be fatal to a dog . Milk chocolate contains 45 mg of theobromine per ounce and unsweetened baking chocolate contains 400 mg per ounce . Just one ounce of unsweetened baking chocolate can kill a small breed dog . Theobromine when ingested by dogs causes release of epinephrine (adrenaline) which causes the heart to race and serious cardiac arrhythmias to develop . Signs of chocolate poisoning in dogs include vomiting, diarrhea, excessive urination, hyperactivity followed by depression and coma, seizures, and death . |

| 118719 | 2003-02-06 22:35:00 | Chocolate contains a toxin - theobromine. While humans tolerate theobromine, dogs can't. Enough of it will cause spasms / convulsions and death. Unfortunately, chocolate is as attractive to dogs as it is humans, so they generally help themselves if it is within reach... :| |

| 118720 | 2003-02-06 23:41:00 | If you are wondering about the chocolate treats that you can buy in the supermarket for dogs .... ... food manufacturers producing "chocolate" treats for pets will either use a vegetable substitute which looks and tastes similar to human chocolate, extract the theobromine or use greatly reduced, safe levels Cats shouldn't be fed chocolate either (same toxicity problem). Moral of the story: Don't share your chocolate with anyone :D |

| 118721 | 2003-02-06 23:59:00 | Perhaps every small kiddie should be armed with a big block of chocolate as part of a dog defense pack. ;\ | antmannz (28) | ||
| 118722 | 2003-02-07 00:07:00 | > What kind of fool would waste perfectly good chocolate Only a stupid fool, Billy. :D Seriously though, I think the biggest danger would be little children scoffing chocolate and either dropping it or giving in to the greedy drooling hound watching them and willing them to hand some over. Best to keep little children eating chocolate away from Liam as well. :p :D antmanzz: Just previewed this post when your reply came in.... good thinking! ;-) :D |
