He just got into a box of chocolates!!! OMG Gizmo just ate chocolate!!! He got into a box of chocolates that my mother in law had in her room and I don't know how much he ate!! What do I do???? |
go to the vet immediately. My chi got very sick after eating chocolate. best wishes...Donna |
You can give hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting if this happened within the last few minutes. Just a small amount will work. I've put it in a medicine syringe before and squirted into Reno's mouth after he got into breath mints with xylitol. (sp) Contact your vet first! |

I called my vet and she told me that he should be fine. I think he ate anywhere from 1-2 pieces of chocolate. She told me that it wasn't a large amount to be concerned about to just watch for diarrhea and if he has it for more than 24 hours then to bring him in. I can't believe my mother in law would just leave a box of chocolates on her floor!!! DH called her at work to ask her how many chocolates she had left in the box and she said about 11-12 and there are 10 left in the box. Then she tells him that she didn't know chocolate was poisonous to dogs. CMON!!! I told DH that she did know that! I am going to worry for the next 24 hours!!! Oh yeah and the vet told me not to induce vomiting bc it might cause more harm to him. He's just been sitting next to me chewing on a his bully stick. I hope he's ok:( |
I hope he is alright! I had a Golden retriever once who ate a 1/2 lb of Godiva chocolates and she was fine. Yorkies are small, if it was cheap chocolates it won't be as bad, but I would go to the vet ASAP!!! I will say a prayer for Gizmo. |
Gosh I hope Gizmo is ok! |
Toxicity level differs between types of chocolates. I hope Gizmo is okay. Please keep us posted. Dogs and Chocolate Toxicity |
I hope Gizmo is going to be okay! |
I think Gizmo will be fine, because usually those chocolates have alot of filling in it and so its not as bad if it were a solid piece of chocolate. If its just milk chocolate it takes more than you'd think to really hurt the dog. I had that happen to Finnigan when he got a hold of some chocolate kisses. I looked it up and he would have had to have eaten a whole Hershey's bar to really hurt him. |
Hey Giz this is your ge buddies the d gang - stop scarying your mama dude :cool: We hope you are ok but sounds like since you are chewing on your bully you are doing pretty good |

Oh wait... this was a while ago... so dont do it now... but if it ever happens again you can do this. I hope Gizmo is ok now. |
Oliver got into chocolate a few months ago, I came home from work to find the wrappers shredded on the floor. I was terrified! He ate 2 rather large chocolates and I had no idea if they were milk or dark. He was fine! Never showed any symptoms whatsoever. I'm sure little Gizmo will be ok, too. Just keep a close eye on him! |
Thank you everyone for thinking of Gizmo!! I was soooo worried all night, I kept waking up to check on him to make sure he was still breathing! He did not have any diarrhea or vomiting or any other symptoms and since its been about 24 hours I think we are in the clear! WHEW!! I told him that he cannot scare his mommy like that ever again!!! |
Whew! This is wonderful news! I'm so relieved Gizmo is okay. :p |
Just seeing this. Here is a link for anyone interested .... Chocolate Poisoning in Dogs - Tips to Identify Symptoms, Treating and Prevention |
I have had two experiences with chocolate. The first, dog ate A LOT of milk chocolate kisses, foil and all! She got sick from it and vomitted it all up. That was gross!!! The second, was a very small min pin that ate 1/2 a stick of solid milk chocolate. A lot for her size. It made her heart race, and it sped her up like she was on speed! Literally! Imagine the zoom zooms times 3. I called the vet and they told us to just watch her and make sure that was all she did and gave us more serious warnings to look for. He said the milk chocolate should be ok. (not ok, in that they can have it, just not as serious as others.) It was kind of funny watching her. They told us that the kind of chocolate does make a difference. Like someone else said the toxicity level is different. Dark chocolate and cocoa is supposed to be the worst for dogs. Good luck, but I bet your baby will be fine with the exception of a tummy ache. |
Glad to hear all is well :thumbup: |
Glad your little one is ok, but just wanted to let you know. Joey got into the trash after I had thrown away some old homemade fudge. He ate a couple of pieces (it looked like) I called the vet and she said not to worry about him unless he started getting sick. She also said its the baking chocolate that is the most dangerous and coco. Of course I was leaving for out of town and was taking out the last of the trash when this happened and was counting on my husband to take care of him while I was gone, Joey was only 13 weeks at this time. Aren't they just great to pick the best time to get into something!!!! |
