Help Please A Mommy In Need |
Maybe give your vet a call. These dogs are so little that you might not want to take a chance. The vet might just say that with the little amount that your baby will be just fine. Good luck and hopefully everything will be fine.:animal-pa |
i know that when dogs eat something that might be potentially dangerous, vets say to give them peroxide to make them throw it up before they digest it.. however i have no idea how much. i'd call the vet! |
If it was NOT dark dark chocolate, it probably won't even make him sick. But do call the vet and see what they say. I hope he's okay! |
If it is not a large amount, I'm sure your baby will be fine. He may have an upset tummy but I doubt it will be dangerous to him however if you are not sure of the amount and think that there's a chance he could've consumed more, call the vet but in the meantime force vomit but giving him 2 teaspoons of peroxide. |
It must have been a small tiny piece because he ate it so fast....i think he will be ok but i will be monitoring him closely..just in case. He is not showing any signs of discomfort and anything...he is actually running around playing...but thanks everyone for the adivce..i needed that! |
This was taken from YorkieTalk sticky: "Chocolate/Caffeine: Chocolate contains theobromine, a compound that is a cardiac stimulant and a diuretic. After their pet has eaten a large quantity of chocolate, many pet owners assume their pet is unaffected. However, the signs of sickness may not be seen for several hours, with death following within twenty-four hours. Symptoms include Staggering, labored breathing, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, tremors, fever, heart rate increase, arrhythmia, seizure, coma, death. Cocoa powder and cooking chocolate are the most toxic forms. A 10-kilogram dog can be seriously affected if it eats a quarter of a 250gm packet of cocoa powder or half of a 250gm block of cooking chocolate. These forms of chocolate contain ten times more theobromine than milk chocolate. Thus, a chocolate mud cake could be a real health risk for a small dog. Even licking a substantial part of the chocolate icing from a cake can make a dog unwell. Semi-sweet chocolate and dark chocolate are the next most dangerous forms, with milk chocolate being the least dangerous. A dog needs to eat more than a 250gm block of milk chocolate to be affected. Obviously, the smaller the dog, the less it needs to eat." For More information on toxic foods see http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43555 Nancy |
Thanks...so a tiny tiny piece like less than a pinky nail fingernail...i should call a vet?? Ok well im going to do that now then.... |
For future reference, let us know what the vet says & how your baby does. Thanks:) |
Ok i called my vet and she told me to keep an eye on him...but he should be fine...but if he gets lazy or non-responsive then to bring him in...but he should be fine! Sighs of relief :rolleyes: |
Ohhh hunny how scary....Im sure he will be just fine. my Bella gets into EVERYTHING! I know how you feel. Keep us posted. I just love your baby....he is too cute!! |
Cali got a hold of a little foil wrapped peanut putter cup last week when I had my 9 year old godchild for the day and she left it on the bed. I caught Cali after she had chewed a little bit of it and she was fine. |
Yes it is very scary...not knowing what will happen...but he seems fine...my vet said that he should be fine..and just to keep an eye on him.... |
How's Wyatt now, I hope he's okay:) He's such a cutie pie:love:! |
