Will Sugar be alright???

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.
