Will Sugar be alright???

[Taz_Zoee]

My mom's RB Min Pin ate a half bag of chocolate chips and we took him to the ER vet. They gave him the activated charcoal and he was fine. The only reaction he had was his little heart was racing. Felt like it was going to beat out of his chest.
Our RB Cocker somehow got into the fridge out in the garage and ate from a dish of brownies I had put in to cool. No trip to the ER and he was fine. I just kept an eye on him. He did not have the racing heart or any effects.

It sounds like you've got it handled. And I will be hoping Sugar will be fine. Hey Sugar....no sugar for you!!! Especially chocolate!!!

Oh, Miss Sugar! You gave us a scare!

Phred, those are exactly the steps the person at the ER vet had me go through.

Total package = 10 oz
Serving size: 9 pieces
Servings per package: 7
So 63 pieces in the package. (Who knew there are 63 pieces in those bags???)

10 oz = 63 pieces
1 oz = 6 pieces
2 oz = 12 pieces which is what I think she ate ( I know it wasn't more than 12 left in the package).

Then she asked me if they are milk or dark chocolate? milk chocolate. I never even told her they were solid kisses, they were filled with the cherry cordial.
How much does Sugar weigh? About 12 to 14 pounds.

So she had 2 ounces or less, she may have some upset tummy. Not a toxic amount, so no need to bring her in. And it will take 17 hours to work out of her system.

From that web site I listed above:
For a 15 pound dog, 2 oz. of Milk chocolate usually will only cause digestive problems.
AND THIS:
Milk chocolate will often cause diarrhea 12-24 hours after ingestion.

I had all the info I needed, just didn't know what to do with it. Phred, by the time you posted, I'd already called the ER. Nevertheless, THANK YOU for all the info!

LOL! LOL! Sugar has a sweet tooth! Of course I can make jokes now that she is OK but I know you were worried!

Years and years ago I had a little toy poodle who got into some chocolate covered salt water taffy (comes from the Jersey shore ). They were covered with rainbow colors of foil and were in a box located on the coffee table. The box was closed and one would think that he couldn't smell the candy through the box and foil covering. WRONG! I came home from work to find my living room floor covered with shimmering foil pieces and piles of chocolate throw-up all over. Thank God for the throw up because his little tummy got rid of it, and he was totally fine. I have no idea how long the whole process took (his eating and getting sick) because I had been gone over eight hours. Afterwards I just smiled as I thought of him diligently getting the foil off each piece to get to the candy.
