Dogs ate chocolate...lots of it.
Edit: title should be Dogs ATE chocolate. [FIFY]
One or both of my dogs, both about a year old, got into a bowl of mini chocolate bars an hour or so ago. About 90 of them disappeared, wrappers and all.
I've been reading about this and the data says that eating 1 ounce per pound of body weight can be really bad news. If 1 dog ate 90 of these, that's. 22.5 oz. of chocolate. Both dogs are 50 - 60 pounds, so I THINK they'll be ok. Maybe some puking and diarrhea tonight.
I did decide to try to induce vomiting with a small dose (1 tsp) of hydrogen peroxide diluted 50/50 with water. They haven't puked yet. It been about 15 minutes and both are acting completely normal.
I will closely monitor them tonight and sleep right next to them in case anything bad happens and go to an emergency vet if necessary.
Anyone else have experience with this?
