The mechanism appears to be the same for theobromine, theophylline, and caffeine
and consists of removal of the methyl groups attached to nitrogens in the purine
skeleton. The ultimate end product being uric acid. Apparently, dogs and cats
have other problems with purine based compounds. They also lack the enzyme
urease which further breaks down uric acid to urea.

Gee, that is interesting!
I recall a study that babies, if left to choose their
own food will eventually get what they need
nutritionially, and that their diet, while off balance
in the short run... is nothing to really worry about,
as they will begin to crave what they are missing...
perhaps non-chan had the enzyme, or the enzyme is
present in strawberries... I don't know.
but it has always been my policy to let others eat
what they want... bees, poision blow fish, magic
mushrooms included....
Thanks for drawing my attention to this potentially
fatal food problem....
Jerry, do you know if this goes for other purines like
Caffeine and Theophylline?
