Correct!
The answer is: the calculated dose of theobromine is 21.1 mg/kg
- A 50 pound (lb) dog = 22.7 kilograms (kg)
- Chocolate consumed = 8 ounces
- Milk chocolate = 44 - 60 mg/oz
* used the maximum possible for this exercise, 60 mg/oz
8 oz chocolate x 60 mg theobromine per ounce = 480 mg of theobromine consumed
480 mg of theobromine divided by the dog's weight (22.7 kg) = 21.1 mg/kg consumed
Is this dog in danger? It may be, if sensitive. Caution and observation is advised. Clinical signs usually appear within 12 hours.
