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!

). 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.
