Answers:
Chocolate is poisonous to dogs!. Its "theobromine" in chocolate that makes it toxic!. Many dogs have eaten chocolate & were fine!. It depends on the type of chocolate(some contain more theobromine than others)!.
Your best bet just to be safe is to make him vomit if it is within 2 hours!. Otherwise it will have already been digested!.
How To Do So!.
1!.
Dilute hydrogen peroxide in a ratio of one part hydrogen peroxide to two parts water!. Make your dog drink 1 tsp!. every 10 minutes until he is able to vomit the swallowed object!.
2!.
Mix equal parts of salt and warm water in a small glass!. Make your dog swallow 2 tsp!. every 10 minutes until she is able to vomit the swallowed object!.
3!.
Place a 1/2 tsp!. of salt at the back of the dog's throat!. Encourage him to drink water from his bowl!. Wait a couple of minutes and the dog should vomit the swallowed object!. Or!.!.
4!.
Administer 1 tsp!. of syrup of Ipecac!. Watch to see if your dog is able to vomit the swallowed object!.
These all work by being irritants!.
If its too late to make him vomit!.
Watch for symtoms and call a Vet immediately if they appear!.
Initially, the dog will develop abdominal pain and vomiting which may contain blood!. The vomit in most cases will contain substantial amounts of chocolate, giving it a very characteristic smell!. The dog may be restless, drooling saliva and could have difficulty standing or walking!. Increased thirst is also common!.
As the syndrome progresses, in the more severely affected dogs, there is an increased rate of breathing, muscle tremors, or rigidity!. Urine may contain blood and the color of the gums may take on a bluish hue, (this is known as "cyanosis")!. Eventually, the dog may develop convulsions and die!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
