Bacca barfing and won't eat....

[BarbV]

Of course there's no way of knowing which dog got how much chocolate, but it is toxic, and we've always been told to induce vomiting with a tablespoon of peroxide for that, Barb. Chocolate can be very dangerous to dogs. Did they get much, can you tell? Chocolate is not something to take chances with....

Ann,

You are 100% correct. When Ryan came upstairs to tell me that one or both of the dogs had gotten into his chocolate, I started having palpitations.

However, observing both my dogs over the last couple of hours, I don't think either one is having any severe toxic reaction to what was eaten.

They are both alternately sleeping and moving around, albeit not their normal patterns. But they did rough-house outside a little while ago, so I'll take that as a good sign. And no vomiting since 3 a.m. (I think).

Thx so much

Toxic chocolate amounts vary by the type of chocolate. Your boys are bigger, I think you said 30lbs?

Tinfoil suggests milk chocolate and that is 30oz or 1.875 lbs or 0.85kg for a 30 lbs dog.

semisweet is about an ounce per 3lbs and bakers chocolate is an ounce per 9 lbs. With lesser amounts, you will see diarrhea usually or vomiting.

You don't know HALF the Bacca stories.....! My son used to smoke Pot! Bacca is my drug sniffing dog....only problem was that he kept eating the evidence! I came home one day to find Bacca lying in the backyward, staring at the clouds....then he went and got his stomach pumped!

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL !! I'm sorry, but not only did I find this hilarious (I'm really sorry), but you spelled backyard "backyward", and it just made it funnier.
please forgive me, I hope Bacca is okay.

Snort! I can laugh about it now...Seriously this dog was like a cat smelling cat nip...he could smell it a mile away! I had some guys come over to paint the fence. One of them had a joint in his cigarette pack. We found the pack in shreds and Bacca spaced out again.

As to my spelling, I always spell it that way...I have a couple of dyslectic moments - I often type "by" instead of "my" and always mis-spell backyard.

Your boys make Bailey seem like an angel!!!

I hope the boys are feeling well this morning and are not having any issues from their little buffet.

 

[Bellesmom]

I also hope that your boys are feeling better today..

Here's hoping your boys start the New Year off well, and stay out of the non-sheltie food for their own good

It's weird....he's eating again and acting totally normal, but he's still throwing up. Twice again in the middle of the night, as well as a 4 a.m. outside trip. And restless....I guess that's the chocolate that he got into.

Ate fine this morning, played around...then an hour ago, threw up again. And 15 minutes ago was staring at me looking for his dinner.

How long does it take for bad things they ingest to get through their systems entirely?

As a result, we're going to spend a quiet new year's at home...my 3 boys (2 fur and 1 human kid).

I even told David not to come over....the sound of Bacca retching would just get him going to!
