Caffeine is present in * :

coffee

percolated 100mg/cup
tea - 15-75mg/cup
cocoa - 10-17 mg/cup#
chocolate - 60-70mg/bar#
some cola drinks - 40-65 mg/12oz can
Lucozade 18mg/100g
Some cold treatments
Some pain killers
Caffeine stimulant tablets
Caffeine stimulant drinks (eg Red Bull)
# The main stimulant and potential toxin in chocolate and cocoa is theobromine.

If enough is eaten it can be fatal for both dogs and cats. The lethal dose of caffeine for dogs and cats is 150mg/kg body weight, and regular instant coffee contains over 60mg caffeine per teaspoon - so for a 3 kg cat 8 teaspoons of coffee would be potentially fatal, and there is NO ANTIDOTE.

Signs of poisoning that may be noticed by owners include :

Excitement
Increased breathing rate
Increased heart rate
Muscle tremors
Fits
Bleeding
Veterinarians may also detect :

Abnormal heart rhythm (called arrhythmias)
Generalised congestion

You might be better off posting this in the Yorkie health & diet forum...NOT my picture thread....and actually...I was drinking Rasberry herbal tea! totally natural...

Really cute pic. Baby Chloe tries to have Coffee with me every morning. Once my mini schnauzer drank a whole cup of irish coffee left sitting on the fireplace seat.

Too funny! Sometimes Brooklyn and Coral try to drink out of cups.

Luckily we only drink water.

My sons friend used to let his chocolate lab have some of his beer, he thought it was hillarious, until one night, the dog got intoxicated, went in to a coma and died..This is why when I saw that, of course, right off I thought you had a cute yorkie, but, I got very worried. I just know some things are cute, and that picture was adorable, but, after seeing what happened to my sons friends dog, I have always tried to worn people..sorry if I came off the wrong way..please forgive me

MissPinkBarbie · 11-24-2008, 03:53 PM

That's adorable..I'm sure she wasn't literally drinking your cup of tea..

She's adorable!

SamiNFurbabies · 11-24-2008, 03:55 PM

chattiesmom · 11-24-2008, 04:03 PM

Pixie is simply adorable - I love those "sharing pics!" She really looks like she is enjoying her Herbal Tea -- I wonder how long it will take for hubby to start bringing Pixie her very own cup?
