Chocolate, induced vomiting, and it's gross. My dog ate a LARGE amount of milk chocolate- the $1.50 sized bar. I induced vomiting with hydrogen peroxide within an hour and a LARGE amount of undigested chocolate was expelled. I continued to induce vomiting every 15 minutes until no more solid chocolate was being returned. I called the doctor, who is pretty confident that the dog will be okay, except he keeps rubbing his face and mouth on the floor. I thought perhaps the peroxide made his mouth tingle or sore. Any other ideas or suggestions now? |
Sounds like his mouth is irritated. Hope he feels better soon. |
Buddy still isn't back to normal. Buddy isn't hyper or drinking excessive water like the articles say he will. The doctor said to give him milk of magnesia to "move the chocolate through quickly." He almost has the opposite symptoms that are described. He is quieter than usual, doesn't want to play, and little appetite. His respiration rate is within the normal rate. I'm still worried. It has been 11 hours since I discovered him with the chocolate bar. How can I tell if he is just tired, or if he is seriously sick? I was so upset that I didn't think to ask how much or how often I could give him milk of magnesia. Does anyone have any experience with it? |

When I had to induce vomiting for Cali when she got one of my poms heart meds, she was out of it for hours. She looked really bad and I only had to give her the hydrogen peroxide once because the pill came right up. I would try to get him to drink some water or lick on ice cubes to keep him hydrated. If he seems more than just wore out from the ordeal I would have your vet check him out. Please keep us posted. |
Bella Mia ate a significant amount of Hersheys Kisses (we learned yes she can get on the kitchen table). We induced vomiting and the vomit smelled like chocolate. She had two bouts of loose stools. Her heart rate did increase and she pantted ALOT! But she didnt get hyper or have any more symptoms either. |
Buddy is sleeping...I hope He is worn out and sleeping on my lap. I just keep watching for more signs. I gave him 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of Milk of Magnesia a couple hours ago. I wonder if a one-time dose is enough. I love my Buddy. |

Awww I hear you! Maybe just keep an eye on him and see if he is getting better or worse. I dont think I would give him anything else until I saw more signs or he seemed worse. I work in the medical field and I think sometimes we try to over treat when the best medicine is running it's course. I am like you though and would be watching him like a hawk worried:confused:. I hope he gets better and spunky soon. |
i agree; no more meds for now; the most important is to get liquid in his system and food if possible. ask the vet if gerber baby food would be the best right now; since his tummy will be a bit sensitive. best of luck |
Glad you were able to act so quickly, I'm sure you saved his life! Hope he's doing better tomorrow. |
I hope we get through the night He is so lethargic, still vomits a little after he drinks. He's just sleeping all the time, but it sounds like he is snoring--don't know what that means. I keep saying his name to wake him every five or ten minutes. I'm snuggling him to keep his head upright. I don't think there is anything a vet could do. I'm afraid that if I do call the vet in tonight, he would be left alone in a cold kennel all night. That might be harder on him than me holding him in a blanket at home. It is 9:40 pm here |

No emergeny vet Our vet would come in, but no one stays overnight at the hospital. He just drank a few laps before my last post, urinated, vomited, then went back to sleep. It's going to be a long night. |
