Sally Has Eaten Some Chocolate!

[pastafreak]

She got into a box of filled chocs and has eaten 3 white and three milk. Looking at the weights I'd guess the milk chocs are about 35gm...minus whatever the filling weighs.
She seems ok…..what should I be looking for in case it does affect her? Can I still feed her later...assuming she wants food?

How is Sally today Pasta? Has Caspar shut up yet? Merlin seeks at me and then sit on the desk beside me and headbutts me. I have a bottle of perfume that I use as a deterrent. One day I will throw it at her. She hates the spray noise.

My old GSD ate a pound bar of galaxy including the aluminium foil and paper sleeve. It had a severe effect on his guilt level, nothing else though( he did weigh 8 stone)

We keep some washing soda by in case of dogs getting to dark chocolate. Our terrier has had be given this emetic twice. According to the vet you have 3-4 hours to make the dog empty its stomach contents before the theobromine kicks in. Balls of washing soda forced down the throat will do the job in seconds.

Not gonna say anyone is irresponsible for letting their dogs get hold of chocolate, as they can be very determined. However, I am going to say how lucky all of those are who are bragging that 'their dog ate xxx amount and was perfectly ok' as though it fine to allow it - you have no way of knowing which dogs it will affect and how badly. Just hope no-one finds out the hard way like the owner of the Staffie I posted about the other day.

Luckily Sally was OK...and it was the one time I was not careful to put the chocs out of her way as I know its a risk. But I was shocked when I mentioned it to several dog owners who were totally unconcerned and admitted to giving their own dogs chocolate. I guess a lot don't take it too seriously.
