  1. —We used Peroxide/called the poison control line ($65) /went to the 24hr Emergency Vet. Can't tell you what to do for your situation but by the time we got to the Vet (30min drive) she had already vomited allot…and they didn't do much and let us take her home to monitor her (they did not charge for just the short chat) she is a large dog so she did not eat enough to truly hurt her-good luck!
    **I will say time is NOT your friend in this situation and peroxide is "the right/safe amount for their weight"

  2. Our 2.5 year old 70lb Golden Retriever consumed chocolate about 40 hours ago. About 12 hours after it happened, she woke us up and was super thirsty. 24 hours after it happened she looked fine. However 36 hours after ingestion, she vomited (twice). Now she is extremely lethargic and has no interest in food or water. Is this a sign that she's getting worse or is merely "resting up"?

  3. My 50 lb. Labrador Retriever ate 6.8 oz of Hershey's Special Dark chocolate. The ASPCA Poison Control Hotline put me on indefinite hold. Totally useless. I'm in Los Angeles and 4 vet emergency hospitals told me they couldn't see the dog because they were "at capacity" (Covid-19?) and were "not allowed" to give me advice over the phone. I've given the dog activated charcoal until I can get him to his regular vet in the morning. I can't wait to go home to Wyoming. There is a useful by-breed chart at https://news.mongabay.com/2005/08/chocolate-could-kill-your-dog/

  8. Hi Dr.Jones my dog is 14 and a half lbs. She's a rat terrier/bichon. She on the 21st between 10am and 3pm she ate 3oz of 72% dark chocolate, brand Endangered Species. I didn't notice her symptoms at first, took her to emergency and she was seen at 9pm. She did not throw up before then, she had diarrhea, shaking, increased heart rate, panting, and 103 temp. The emergency vet I took her to kept her overnight. They did not induce vomiting, they gave her charcoal, an if and an anti nausea. She ate and drank the next day and still had panting. The day after she didn't want to eat or drink, though I was able to get her to drink a tiny bit and eat some cat food. That night she started to play with a new toy, after about ten seconds started panting heavily, had to lay down and her respiratory rate was about 58 during the night. Her breathing has been gone since then and only panting to a lesser extent while at the vet. The vet yesterday did bloodwork, gave her an antacid and an iv that lasted for about ten to fifteen seconds, I don't know the amount, they called it an under the skin iv. She's been hiding under the bed a lot since I took her to the emergency one and is still not back to herself. Hasn't wanted to eat or drink except this previous evening before this early morning she did has some water and cat food of her own volition. Regular panel looks good, except rericulocyte is 116, basophyl .0009, glucose 111, creatinine 1.9, A ST 58, bilirubin unconjugated 0.0, bilirubin conjugated 0.1, creatinine kinase 822. Also, I had her amylase and kinase checked, amylase 543, kinase 1,103 so I think those are good. Former are the ones the looked out of range or close. Can a dog if her size with the amount she had still have symptoms going past three days since exposure and is there anything I should check or watch for- for purely entertainment purposes -_- of course
    Thank you

  9. I have a 15 pound Yorkshire terrier who got maybe 1-2 Hershey kisses/ milk chocolate. He hasn't shown any symptoms yet but it has only been about 2 hours. Should I worry cause I am worrying a lot

  10. This is very helpful, I have a question, what if a 20 pound dog has consumed 3oz dark chocolate and is showing symptoms after about 12 hours, surely it must have reached the blood by then, what is the treatment given, are they administered with an antidote for theobromine?
