Nico Ate chocolate!!! Nico got a hold of a hershey miniature, dark chocolate, sugar free this morning. He ate the wrapper and all. The dog is a garbage can. He eats anything and everything he can find. |
Oooh Nico Nico...he is going to give you a heart attack. Wonder if Mads gave it to him and egged him on :D |
Give him some peroxide to induce vomiting NOW!!!!! Every minute counts. THe dark chocolate is bad enough, but the artificial sweetener can cause kidney failure PLEASE induce vomiting now! |
Yes, hydrogen peroxide NOW! About a tablespoon. Then, call your vet, please! But do the induced vomiting first. |

Oh gosh! I sure hope your baby will be ok. I'm really scared for you right now, and my thoughts are with you. Please update us when all is taken care of. If this were me, I would be in sheer panic mode right now as I do not even have Peroxide in the house. I am adding this to my list of "must have" items before my girl comes home. Again, I hope all will be well. C- |
It sounds like it has been more than an hour so inducing vomiting might not work (but it might too). He needs to be seen by a vet immediately. THe dark chocolate may not do harm in that small of a dose (or it might) but the artificial sweetener is a big problem. |
:eek: ... oh no .... what did the Vet say ???? Hope your Baby is ok !!! |
The Vet cleared him, he is fine. Thanks for your concerns. |
please call the VET asap...i hope NICO is ok? sending prayer his way! |

He was fine the whole time. He has a stomach of steel. The vet said be very careful with all chocolate, but especially baker's chocolate. |
What did he tell you about the artificial sweetener? That's something that worries me. So many things have that now. :( |

It's not the stomach that's affected by chocolate; it's the nervous system. "Dogs and puppies do not have the ability as we humans do to digest a simple chemical found in chocolate called "Theobromine". When theobromine is ingested by an animal it effects are horrific on the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system. This effect of the chemical has a very harsh effect on the animals body causing severe trauma and often times death. Your dog, if untreated, can quickly go into convulsions, have arrythmia, stop breathing and go into a coma." 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? |
