| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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). |
