Default How's Logan now?

My 7 pound Yorkie ate a LARGE (4" x 6" x 1/4") chocolate bar - the size that costs about $1.60. We caught him eating the candy, immediately induced vomiting, and I thought most of the chocolate came up. But he still became extremely lethargic within 12 hours. His gums showed blood through the skin, and he couldn't hold up his head or walk. He spent a week on IV's for dehydration and had other meds that I don't remember. He didn't eat for a week. He still has a wheeze and hacking cough - MONTHS later. He acts like his trachea is damaged. I don't know if the peroxide, induced vomiting, or the required Elizabethan collar damaged his neck. Please don't take any chances. Yorkies are very sensitive due to their tiny size.
