Skye's eye View - Chocolate & Christmas


  SKYE’S EYE VIEW



Hullo everyone, let me introduce myself, I am Skye a 12 year old Westie. My Mum, Summer and I all work together. We are so lucky to go to work with our lovely ‘Mum’.  We live an active life, and live in Dorset, a beautiful part of the country & our walks are just amazing.  I have to admit that I am not as speedy as I used to be and Summer, who lost an eye early this year definitely isn’t as fast as she used to be. Squirrels are safer but we still give them a run for their nuts!

With the approach of Christmas shopping and the Festive season I thought it a good idea to remind all you owners how bad Chocolate is for us canines.

Chocolate poisoning can be fatal and the onset of clinical signs usually occur within 24 hours, effects may last as long as 72 hours.

Theobromine is the toxic agent in chocolate and cocoa powder. The therobromine concentration varies with different types of chocolate.

White chocolate is the least concentrated

Drinking chocolate

Milk chocolate

Plain chocolate

Cocoa powder is the most concentrated

Some of the visible signs are vomiting, excessive drinking, restlessness, salivation, excitability and hyperactivity.In severe cases diarrhoea, urinary incontinence and convulsions as well as muscle rigidity and circulatory failure may occur.

Wow not to be treated lightly! Of course foods such as chocolate muffins, biscuits, cakes and Easter eggs are all to be kept out of our reach!!

If any of us manage to help ourselves to Chocolate please seek Veterinary advice, but the best way to prevent any temptation is to keep all cupboards tightly shut.

Other festives foods to keep out of our reach is;

Christmas cake, mince pies, Dundee cake, all containing huge quantities of dried fruit, NOT GOOD FOR US either.

So luckily for your humans you get to keep all the lovely chocolate and not share it with your four legged friends, for our sake!!

Sniffs & Kisses, Skye xxx

  1. Hello Skye, what a pretty name. I don't know why humans make so much fuss about chocolate, I would much rather stick to the meaty stuff. I'm not even very keen on doggy chocolate - give me a bit of tripe or pizzle any day.
    We've got your address written down now so we're going to come and visit and try some of your noms. I've been a BARF dog for over 3 years now and absolutely love it.

  3. Hiv disease for the last 3 years and having hard to eat and cough are nightmares,especially the first year. At this stage, the immune system is severely weakened, and the risk of contracting opportunistic infections is much greater. However, not everyone with HIV will go on to develop AIDS. The earlier you receive treatment, the better your outcome will be.I started taking ARV to avoid early death but I had faith in God that i would be healed someday.As a Hiv patient we are advise to be taking antiretroviral treatments to reduce our chance of transmitting the virus to others , few weeks ago i came on search on the internet if i could get any information on Hiv treatment with herbal medicine, on my search i saw a testimony of someone who has been healed from Hiv her name was Achima Abelard and other Herpes Virus patient Tasha Moore also giving testimony about this same man,Called Dr Itua Herbal treatment.I was moved by the testimony and i contacted him by his Email.drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com/ www.drituaherbalcenter.com. We chatted and he send me a bottle of herbal medicine I drank it as he instructed me to.After drinking it he ask me to go for a test that how i ended my suffering life of Hiv patent,I'm cured and free of Arv Pills.I'm forever grateful to him Doctor Itua Herbal Treatment..He assured me he can cure the following disease..Hiv,Cancer,Herpes Virus,Hpv,Pile,Weak Erection,Lyme Disease,Epilepsy,Glaucoma.,Brain Tumor,psoriasis, Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Chronic Diarrhea,Lung disease.Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis.Alzheimer's disease
