Sue is forever entertaining me with stories of Nico's adventures. He is a sweet baby that is living his puppyhood to his fullest with his new mamma. He is very lucky to have been rehomed to her.

I did not know about the peroxide, thanks for this information.

It's not fun, but sometimes necessary. It took a couple of doses for Gizmo the one time we had to use it.

Glad to help.

Dogs and Chocolate

Dark chocolate is considered baking chocolate, milk chocolate on the other hand, contains much less theobromine. It also concerns me that the dog ingested an artificial sweetener, I'm not sure which kind it was, but some of those have been shown to be deadly as well.

Didn't the vet recommend that you induce vomiting?

Nancy ... very good Post ...

I am glad he is ok.

My Pup did the same thing eating chocolate ice cream with syrup, I did have to induce vomiting, and the chocolate came all up.

Suzi eats everything too, and it IS scary.

I'm so glad that Nico seems to be okay.

If anything seems off, please let your vet know. And Nico, stop scaring your Mommy like that!!!!!

I'm new to the forum but I've been reading alot to learn about Yorkies. Our little guy is 13 weeks old and just found some dark chocolate that I thought was high enough that he couldn't get it. It looks like he raked his teeth over a piece and licked it a little. I'm really scared. Should I use the perioxide? He had eaten some dog food shortly before. He's very healthy. Help!

Judy in Waco · 06-21-2008, 06:34 PM

How much do you think he ate? If you grabbed it and he only got a lick or two, I wouldn't worry. I'd call the vet and ask though, just to be safe.

Deb19 · 06-21-2008, 06:42 PM

Thank you for replying so quickly! Just a couple licks and some teeth marks. He weighs 2lbs 11oz. He seems to be ok right now.

Judy in Waco · 06-21-2008, 06:48 PM

I've asked a couple of people to check my answer, but I really think that's not enough to be a problem.

I almost missed your post though!

Welcome to YT!

Next time you might want to start your own thread so we won't accidentally miss it.

Now, you might want to do an introductory post in general discussion. Oh, and we LOVE photos!

Deb19 · 06-21-2008, 07:11 PM

Thank you for your help. I'm glad I had just read about dark chocolate earlier today. I saw some people were still signed in and looked for the chocolate thread. I was panicking and looking for help! I'll try to post some pics tomorrow. He ate more than I thought so I gave him some peroxide. Been busy cleaning that up, but I feel better now that it's out of his system! Thanks again. I love learning about Yorkies! He's so much fun! I had no idea these little dogs were so amazing!
