Unless the chocolate icing is something
like ganache, with large quantities of solid chocolate in it, the theombrine
content should be negligible. I'm not advocating chocolate icing for dogs,
but I had a cocker spaniel that we fed leftover coca-cola cake to one time
without any problems (except for him grabbing Dad by the thumb and not letting
go--seems the thumb was covered with icing and he stuck it thru the fence for
Happy to lick the icing, and Happy assumed it was another piece of cake!)
I have to confess that I have no clue
whether horses are allergic to theombrine....they aren't very likely to get into
the candy dish on the coffee table and eat all the Hershey kisses, so there
aren't any case histories around that I know of. It certainly never came
up in Feeds and Feeding classes!
