| Chocolate incidence Yesterday monring we had a chocolate eating crisis. We had a football party Saturday night and ordered Domino's pizza and some of their new brownie bites (which are only 1 square inch in size). Well, while I was cleaning up yesterday morning I found Kahlua under the table eating on something, it was a brownie!! He had eaten half. I was so scared. Well after reading many postings on here and on the web, we gave him 1 tsp hydrogen peroxide to induce vomitting every fifteen minutes, and after the second tsp he vomitted after 5 min. Then we followed up with a piece of burnt toast, the chemicals in the charcoal supposively soak up any remaing chemicals from the chocolate. We were so nervous, we had no clue how much cocoa powder was in those brownies since we did not make them!! Kahlua has been doing great ever since, thankfully!! Its amazing the situations your fur babies can get into, and how scared they can make you! Here is a good site, with a chart of how much hydrogen peroxide to give based on body weight if you are ever in this horrible situation! http://www.dog.com/vet/holidays/02.asp Vet Articles : Hazardous Holiday Decorations: Plants & Greens - Dog.com

| OMG, you must have been terrified! I have to give you a TON of credit! Sounds like you took care of it right away! The whole post was a learning lesson for me. I never heard of peroxcide to induce vomiting nor did I hear of the burnt toast! I am thankful he is fine and think that this is an awsome post! How on Earth did you get him to eat burnt toast?!? |

| Hopefully your baby is feeling better now. God bless~ I'm a chocholate lover myself~ I always limit myself eating chocholate at a certain place without wodering around, so I can be precise when I clean afterwards. Here's another link some other member posted about chocholate: http://www.finedarkchocolate.com/Cho..._Chocolate.asp Hope it helps~

My furkids Donating Member | I believe it is bakers chocolate that is bad for dogs... (although we always shared our choco bars with our dogs when we were kids and nothing ever happened to them) however, I would certainly not want my furbabies to get into ANY chocolate...I think you did the right thing...Hopefully he doesn't find anymore...

| It is the bakers and the dark chocolate that is the worse for them. Chachi has gotten into milk chocolate before and was fine

| He is feeling much better now. I was very terrified!! and those 30 minutes seemed like 2 hours!! Kahlua will eat anything. And after us forcing him to drink peroxide with a syringe, he was glad to have burnt toast. We are usually very careful when we eat chocolate, but we had quite a few people over Saturday night and we have one of those trash cans with the swinging lid, so you have to tilt your plate to drop it in, so that is the only thing I can come up with how it got on the floor!! But oh well, things happen, I'm just glad that we found that site and other info on what to do in this situation!!
