Help! My dog ate chocolate covered caramel balls She ate quite a bit of them (maybe 10 pieces, they are like milk duds). She is acting ok for the moment, but I just caught her maybe 10 minutes ago. Is there any way I can enduce vomiting? The vet is closed and I can't afford the emergency clinic. Any advice? Thank you for any help you may be able to give. |
This tells you how to induce vommiting of a dog http://www.doctordog.com/dogbook/dogvomit.html |
im not thebest with advice because im still new but i have heard the ladies on here say to give them a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide? ladies if i am wrong im soo sorry but i think thats what i ahve read, maybe you can call an emergency hosital vet or somehting, and just ask them? i know when my cats ate my kids jeely beans and chocolate eggs i thought they were going to die but they never did anything so im not to sure since i havent had it happen and i am still new. |
oh no..chocolate and dog is not a good combination...I hope your baby will be okay. |
I called the emergency clinic and even another vet, but they wouldn't tell me how to do it. They said I had to bring her in. Thanks for the info chachi's mom. I'm off to the store right now. The only thing I have on the list is salt. I'm not too crazy about giving my dog a teaspoon of salt. That sounds dangerous in itself. I'm going with the ipecac. |
If you cant find it I know people have did it with the peroxide too |
Good luck. Keeping fingers crossed.:goodluck: |
If your unclear remember you can call the pet poison control and they can help you induce vomiting if they feel that was too much chocolate for his weight. |
Good luck... Maxi got into some chocolate when he was about 4 months old. We were leaving for church and I noticed a napkin that had chocolate in it. we took him to the emergency room - where the induced vomiting. My sisters dog also got into some and they used the peroxide - which worked. I hope your puppy is ok! |
Hydrogen peroxide is usually what the ER vet and poison control will recommend to induce vomiting. If the chocolate was milk chocolate, it is not as dangerous as dark chocolate. I hope your baby is okay with nothing more than an upset tummy. Please keep us posted. |

I just got back from the store. Actually three different ones and none of them had Ipecac. I got peroxide. Each of the vets told me that it was alot for her size (she's 6.5 pounds). She's still acting ok, but I'm off to make her throw up just to be on the safe side. Thanks for all your help. :) |
Please keep us updated. I hope she won't have any problems. |
It is one teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide and one teaspoon of milk to induce vomiting. Ive never heard of giving a small dog impicac. Good luck hun. Keep us posted! |
Thanks again for all of your advice and concern. I gave her one teaspoon of peroxide and she started vomiting. I think she got it all out. I hope so anyway. All I could see was brown and tan goo. Nothing was whole anymore. She vomited quite a bit too. I'm sure her belly has to be empty. Now she is laying on my lap all wore out. Poor baby. Hopefully she will be ok now. I'll just have to keep an eye on her. Thank goodness for this board! I wouldn't have known what to do and would have spent at least $100 at the vet (that's what they told me). |
