Stupid arse dog ate all my god damned christmas goodies.

Do I make her puke?

Is this dangerous?

She's 60 lbs.


Any amateur vet advice would be appreciated.

Feed her Hydrogen Peroxide?

UPDATED:

Fed her a shitload of peroxide and couldnt get her to puke. She took a dinosaur sized dump this AM and seems to be fine.

I guess I underestimated her iron stomach.

Id google something to make your puppy vomit. A friends dog ate rat poison and that’s what the vet suggested.

Fudge is potentially dangerous. I'd get her to the emergency vet.

If it were a Hershey bar or something like that, the chocolate would be diluted enough to get away with it.

The Merck Veterinary Manual 8th Edition Online reports that while there may be mild signs and symptoms of chocolate poisoning in small dogs who eat less than a half-ounce of of chocolate, more harmful effects may be seen at higher doses, and heart problems and seizures may occur at still higher doses. Their studies show that in most cases, 1 ounce of chocolate per pound of dog is about the rate at which symptoms begin to appear.

Isn't fudge usually a more concentrated dose?

Dog have to eat alot of chocolate for it to be toxic... i have no idea what you should do. Making her puke it up would certainly solve the problem

Keep an eye on her. Here is a copy/past from a google article

What are the Signs of Chocolate Poisoning?

Signs of chocolate poisoning usually appear within 6 to 12 hours after your dog has eaten it, may last up to 72 hours, and include the following:

Vomiting
Diarrhea
Restlessness
Increased urination
Tremors
Elevated or abnormal heart rate
Seizures
Collapse and death

Note: Older dogs and dogs with heart conditions are more at risk of sudden death from chocolate poisoning.

A buddy’s German Shepard ate an entire foot tall chocolate bunny one Easter while they were at church.

The dog didn’t seem affected at all, but they also probably got lucky.

If you have a hard time getting them to take it mix it with ice cream, it still works.

The offending chemical is theobromide.

Milk chocolate is diluted and generally safe. Dark chocolate is more dangerous and baker's chocolate can be really bad.

Modern chocolate is all sugar. My 100 pound dog at a bag of dove chocolate squares. I’m pretty sure the wrappers were rougher on him than the candy itself. Don’t get me wrong, he puked and crapped. But he lived.
