Freunde der Bitternis,
lest euch das mal durch :
*HOPS DANGER TO PETS -- the spent hops from the home brewing of beer
presents a new danger to dogs. The National Animal Poison Control Center
has been consulted on several dogs, only one of whom survived. The dogs
present with panting, restlessness, and signs of increasing pain. The most
significant symptom is a rapid increase in temperature called malignant
hyperthermia. Treatment includes gastric lavage, charcoal slurry, coldwater
baths and IV sodium bicarbonate to reverse metabolic acidosis. Hops contain
a variety of biologically active compounds, the most suspect however is an
uncharacterized alkaloid.
If your dog has a tendency to eat, at will, whatever is available or you
are not ABSOLUTELY positive your dog will not eat spent hops we recommend
you throw the spent hops away in the garbage and check to make sure the lid
is secured.
Und wenn ihr einen Hund habt, dann redet mit ihm : " Hopfen fressen ist
pfuiiii !"
Schönes Wochenende,
Hans
