my dog

[sian]

ahhhhhh ma dog jus ate choco but ma mum sed she will be fine nd no need to call da vet wat shall i do

[Jessika]

#1 What size/breed is your dog
#2 How MUCH chocolate did s/he eat
#3 What TYPE of chocolate did s/he eat

[sian]

she is a datson cross terrior
12 chunks of caburies milk choco wiv nuts

[Jessika]

datson? Do you mean dachshund?? (Doxie)??

If so, and your dog is that small and ate that much chocolate, it can be toxic. I suggest taking him to the vet.

[sian]

but ma mum sed she will be fine nd its her fone nd she wont let me use it nd she sed dat she is runnin round lyk normal so she will be fine but im still worried shud i try nd persude her

[Jessika]

Well there is nothing you can do if your mom won't let you.

If she's acting normal, she could be fine. She may just have diarrhea from it. But let your mom know chocolate is very toxic to dogs because it contains theobromine and theobromine is very, very toxic.

However, milk chocolate does not contain as much theobromine as, say, dark chocolate, or baker's chocolate. It would take more milk chocolate than baker's chocolate for it to be toxic for a dog.

We replied in your other thread about how to put a picture up

And don't think your pup is "in the clear" just yet -- closely monitor her for the next 24 hours!!

Thanks for the reply, Sian! And welcome to Pet Talk! What's your pupper's name??? Hope to see that pic up soon! Let us know if you're having trouble!
