After a breathing episode following a run on a hot day, a 7-year old female pug was diagnosed with a collapsed windpipe and an enlarged heart. The vet prescribed Theophylline 100mg 1-2 tablets daily. We discontinued strenuous activities and monitor her closely, but are concerned about the long-term effects and risks of Theophylline consumption. What are the long-term effects of Theophylline, and what are the risks of monitoring the condition without immediate medication?
