Chocolate

Uppdaterad

Thank you for your call and conversation with you about lovely XX (dog's name)

Dogs and especially puppies like to explore their surroundings by tasting/eating inappropriate things.

Symptoms of chocolate poisoning depend on the theobromine concentration in the specific type of chocolate, the amount consumed by the animal and the weight of the animal - and base on the info you gave me - I suspect that this is a case of an intake above the toxic level.  

I recommend that you contact your local veterinarian. Call directly to book an emergency appointment.

Untreated poisoning can lead to serious, even fatal consequences. The symptoms often appear between 2-24 hours after intake, and can be:

  • Decreased general condition
  • Trembling, weakness and loss of balance
  • Vomiting and diarrhoea
  • arrhythmic increased heart rate
  • Increased body temperature
  • Salivation and nausea
  • Cramps

Symptomatic treatment is often given at the vet, by forex: induce vomiting if necessary, rinse the dog's stomach, coal and IV fluids and other medical treatments.

You are always welcome to contact Agria Vet Guide again for a follow-up call.
