I know dogs should never eat chocolate, so that`s why I`m a little worried. Does any harmfull could happen to her?
Thanks for your responses

I would not stress too much as have heard it is the dark chocolate that is more concern - she will probably throw it up but i would not worry too much as my friends maltese did the same thing and was fine and vets on my vet group said no worries with milk chocolate. Was it the milk chocolate or dark chocolate?

If your baby just ate a little chocolate, you should be okay. My little guy, piggy that he is, dug into my book-bag and ate one of those HUGE milk chocolate bars, like over a cup full of chocolate. I found him in the process and induced vomiting. I thought he vomited lots of chocolate, most of the chocolate, but it wasn't enough. The results were horrible. His little legs trembled, he was sleeping too deeply. After 24 hours he was almost unresponsive, he would look up if I flicked his eyelashes, and that was about it. He was squeaking as he breathed - very irregularly and shallowly. He ended up at the hospital for four days, IV, lots of different meds, his little gums looked like the blood would just come through the skin. It was about two weeks before he was back to normal. He still has spells where his breathing isn't normal. That said, remember he ate one of those very large bars, about 8 inches by 4 inches by 1/2 inch thick.

Call your vet, or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435. Milk chocolate is one of the least toxic chocolates, but still poses a danger.

What could this be, none of them seem to be out of place. THey were all playing this morning like nothing was wrong.

My Rico and Ben both were sick before xmas. Rico got bloody poos first then 48hrs later Ben was sick. They must have gotten a bacteria from the grassy park in the condos where we walked them. They never get table food as Rico has allergies/seizure food triggers. After some amoxicillian it cleared right up.

why does rico have seizures? Is rico a yorkie?

msanna · 01-04-2010, 10:09 AM

Rico is a 5 year old yorkie. Not sure why he has seizures. They started when he turned 2 1/2. He has them about once every 6-8 months. The vet checked his liver and other enzymes and they were good. The vet is sure that it is epilepsy. Rico's mom had some food allergies (corn, dairy). Rico also has food allergies and if we keep him away from the trigger foods his seizures are even less frequent. Heartgard also causes seizures in him so we use interceptor and it works great with no problems.

MrsPeanut · 01-04-2010, 12:26 PM

So the vet finally called me back chewy was positive for giardia

he has been on antibiotic for four days now and hasn't pooped blood since yesterday. The vet said it's contagious. I have two others that seem to be fine, having normal bowels. Should I get them checked. Does anyone have experience. In almost four years my dogs have never been sick and now I'm dealing with this. How serious is it, what should I look for, is there a
shot to prevet this. How do I sanitize the house and backyard.

YorkieMom6 · 01-04-2010, 12:48 PM

Awww - poor Chewy, I am sorry but at least you know what it is now. I have no experience but found this information.

Giardia canis in Dogs

It does appear to be contagious and there is even speculation that it can be transmitted to humans tho it has not been proven. Hopefully someone with actual experience or insight will be here soon to help you.

Good luck and I hope that Chewy is better soon.

MrsPeanut · 01-04-2010, 06:30 PM

Plans for tomorrow are to clean the house, take the other dogs to the vet to get tested and if they are good to quarantine Chewy until I know he is good.
