| 9 week old puppy ate chocolate? He seems fine, just hyperactive, and my mom doesn't have the money to take him to the vet. What do I do? Will he be okay? He only ate equivalent to a human bits of chocolate. He's my baby, I'm worried about him. Will he be okay? It's too late for the peroxide thing, I'm just scared! |

| You should really post this in the Sick and Injured Section so more ppl will see and answer quickly. Can you call a vet and tell them how much your pup ingested and if they recommend peroxide or just the wait/see method? (I'm not sure how much two human bits are? Also, was it dark, milk or white chocolate?) I'll look for your post in the Sick and Injured Section if you just want to go ahead and post there to try to get more responses and more quickly.

| This just happened to my friend's yorkie. Call the ER vet and see what they suggest. I know that her dog got into chocolate twice and they made her come in both times. I would not do the peroxide thing without taking to a vet. And yes, please repost this in the Sick forum. You will good advice there.

| And honestly, at 9 weeks old, I don't know if I would take the chance. How much chocolate was eaten? Do you know?

| Me personally I would take her to the vet but if you can't call and ask them. I have heard the dark chocolate is worse than milk chocolate. Please keep us posted. Thanks and good luck!

| My mom's bichon was a chocoholic. If chocolate existed he would find it. After several vet trips we gave up. I would get upset stomach for a few days but otherwise was fine. Thankfully. I would still notify your vet for recommendations.
