My cat ate a Hershey's Kiss ribbon. Should I worry about toxicity?

Well that wasn't good of Winston to eat that Hershey's kiss! The good news is that one is not likely to cause any problems. It's very small and doesn't contain enough chocolate to cause any toxic symptoms. He should be fine, so I wouldn't do anything for him except monitor him to be safe. You potentially could see some mild GI upset, but otherwise he should be fine. Keep him away from the kisses in the future! Thanks for contacting Pet Coach!

I would guess that Sirius weighs about 4 lbs in which cases single Hershey’s kiss would not be enough chocolate to cause a problem. If you think he weighs less you can repost your question with his weight and we can determine if treatment is necessary.

I think Mirz will likely be fine. The most toxic chocolate is the unsweetened baker's chocolate. Milk chocolate and white chocolate are the least toxic. It doesn't sound like she got enough to make her sick based on what you said above. I recommend you just monitor her closely for any abnormal behavior or symptoms. Here is a link to an article about chocolate in cats. This may help you determine if you think she ate too much. https://www.petful.com/pet-health/can-cats-eat-chocolate/ If you are worried at all then take her to your vet ASAP. It is better to be safe than sorry in most instance.s Hope this helps. Best wishes.

It does matter that it is white chocolate - fortunately white chocolate is not toxic! It could cause some mild stomach upset so if Xina vomits or develops diarrhea I’d recommend seeing your vet. Otherwise no treatment is required.

It depends on how small you mean by "small," and what material it was. If it was paper gift wrap, that is unlikely to cause a problem because it will break down in the stomach. If it was gift ribbon of any kind, that is NOT digestible and can cause a problem, I'd be concerned if the piece were more than 1/2 inch to an inch in length. Watch him for vomiting, not wanting to eat, or for acting lethargic or painful. If you notice any of these signs, take him to your vet. If it gets to be 3-4 days since it occurred and you've seen no symptoms, you are in the clear. Thanks for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

A very small section shouldn't cause any problems, but keep an eye on her for the next 24 hours. If you see any concerning signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, increased heart rate, or restlessness, have her seen by a vet immediately.

Hi there! A few crumbs of milk chocolate probably will not harm your cat. If she got a decent bit, she might have some diarrhea, but I highly doubt this will happen if it was only chocolate residue. Feel free to call your vet if you have concerns, but I think your kitty will be just fine! :)
