My dog ate chocolate. Is he safe after overnight vet treatment?

There's not much to be done but treat the symptoms after more than 12 hours. A visit to your vet would be prudent if your dog ate a large quantity and is having tremors/twitches or an irregular/fast heartbeat. If he is acting normally otherwise, withhold food for 12-24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet (boiled boneless, skinless chicken breasts and plain white rice) in small, frequent amounts. Feed until the stool is normal, then transition slowly to the regular diet. If the diarrhea doesn't resolve, see your veterinarian.

Hi, I think she needs to be admitted to the hospital for treatment with antiarrythmic medicatiions and anything else depending on how she is when she gets there. She will likely need to have activated charcoal. I hope you can have her rechecked soon as I have had bad experiences with chocolate toxicities t=in dogs with such a high heart rate. Sending positive thoughts !

Although the THC content can cause some severe symptoms in dogs, it is not likely to be fatal or to cause any long lasting effect, the symptoms can last up to 48 hours though so i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get to get supportive treatment. the chocolate itself is actually more dangerous that he canabis but if the amount is not more than 15 gr then this is fine as well, it's a low amount of chocolate, nothing that would cause any serious toxic effects.

It's best to take her to the vet considering the amount of chocolate ingested is unknown and she was vomiting (an early sign of chocolate toxicity). It's also concerning that she ate the wrappers, because these can cause problems in the intestines as well. The vets will be able to monitor Rane for further signs of toxicity and give medication as necessary to keep things from getting worse. I hope that helps and all is well with Rane.

It is likely that most of the caffeine and theobromine will have been digested and absorbed prior to defecation. I would monitor for any symptoms in the other dog to be on the safe side. As with any chocolate toxicity, it is best to have your veterinarian examine your dog to administer the most appropriate treatment. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

As long as the sweetener wasn't xylitol you should be ok. And you are correct, it wasn't enough chocolate to be concerned. You may see some vomiting or diarrhea tonight or tomorrow. Good luck and kisses to Bertram!

At this amount of chocolate and with Brewster's rate, the methylxanthine Level is 42.24mg/kg, which will only cause a mild reaction. You may see some vomiting, diarrhea, shaking, increased heart rate, or increased urination. I personally do not recommend making him vomit. The reason is that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can and does cause severe esophagitis and gastritis, often worse than the initial problem, so it's always preferred to advise emergency care. In this case, Brewster should be fine because at most he will only experience a mild reaction and I can give you a home remedy if you see any vomiting or diarrhea. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet.
