A whole egg is a lot for a 4.5 pound dog. Eggs do have 187 mg of cholesterol, which is 62% of the daily recommended intake for a full size human.

Keep in mind that dogs require a more carefully balanced set of nutrients than humans. These fresh food treats should not exceed more than 10 - 20% of her diet or you risk upsetting the balance of nutrients.

When you give fresh foods, you also have to take this into account for her total daily intake. If she is eating regular dog food and all of the treats, she is probably getting too much. You also have to consider her activity level and food intake.
