HELP! My 4 month old Yorkie just ate an M&M. I tried to get him to throw it up, but it was too late. I gave him some food and water to push it down. Will he be OK?! Please Reply!!!!

i'd call the vet... just beacuse he is so young and M&M's are dark chocolate which i'm pretty sure has the bad stuff in it.. just call and see what they say. I'm sure he'll be ok

How much does he weigh?
Was it a dark chocolate m&m or milk chocolate?
Peroxide didn't work?

Honestly, it is always best to consult the vet but if he is over 2 or 3 pounds and it was milk chocolate he should be fine.

If Ellie ate 1 m&m right now I would say, oh well.

He should be ok. At 5 months my little Terror got into a box and ate silica gel (Do Not Eat Packages.) She had poop problems and was very thirsty for a few days but was ok.

I would call the vet just to be on the safe side. Here is a link that helped me out when Riley got into chocolate. It also has other helpful info on there.

Pepto works wonders. Thats actually what the doctor told us to give Chloe when she ate the Silica. She also loved it!!!
