Hi. You may want to make him throw up as well. Otherwise, our vet always recommended the tablet form of pepto bismol. It's pretty benign.
You may want to call your vet, though. My neighbor's lab got into pure chocolate and the vet recommended giving him something to make him throw up. Chocolate is toxic. However, the lab I know ate pure chocolate and about a pound of it.
Crazy dogs!!

Unless you used baker's chocolate in the cookies, he should be fine. If it was baking chocolate, take him to the vet right away!!! if not-- Don't give him any medication, you should always check with your vet before doing that. If the diarrhea is really bad, take him to the vet as soon as possible just to make sure he didn't get poisoned or dehydrated. Just make sure he has plenty of water and keep an eye on him. Diarrhea or vomiting is a normal reacting to ingesting something different in a dog's diet. This happened to our dog with four dozen sugar cookies a few years ago, and after a HUGE mess, she was fine.

I tried to find a link for this but I couldn't so I can only tell you what I think. I wouldn't give a dog a human medicine unless a vet tells you it's ok. I have given my labs liquid tylenol when they were in pain, but I haven't tried immodium or tums. Chocolate is bad for a dog, but since your's is a larger breed you msy just want to let it go away on its own.

My vets always tell me Immodium is safe and to use a blan diet. Which is broiled chicken and rice. They are extremely easy to digest and helps to settle the stomach. That is usually the protocal for diarrhea but I would just check with the vet because of the chocolate, but that is usually how you treat diarrhea. Usually just using the chicken and rice surfices and do drugs are necessary and you stay with that until the stool hardens. At that point you gradually start adding his noraml food in. Hope your Lab feels better soon!

By all means contact your Vet. Tums could only cause more distress. Chocolate and dogs don't mix. If it was a little diarrhea Keopectate is what you should use....But don't wait with chocolate. it is at least worth a phone call!

Immodium is great. We use Pepto Bismol too. But I hope you know that chocolate is poisonous to dogs! They can die after eating a large quantity of chocolate because it is definitely toxic. I hope he makes it and don't let him get to any more chocolate for the rest of his life. Even a small candy bar is too much.

i'm no longer able to diagnose you; you may want a physician to do this. yet i will inform you that a hundred-3 hundred energy an afternoon isn't any the place close to sufficient. while you're actually not lively, you ought to be ingesting a minimum of one thousand energy an afternoon (inactive teenage women ought to have approximately 1500 an afternoon). it is effective in case you want to eat healthful, hell, it is large. yet seem on the foodstuff pyramid. It takes plenty to eat particularly healthful. end result and vegetables are good, yet you nevertheless want bread, dairy, meat (or some variety of protein), etc.

Chocolate is poisonous to dogs. Go to the vet. Also for just a plain upset stomach you can give 1 tablespoon Pepto Bismol. I wouldn't use anything else for a dog except Pepto Bismol. Don't feed anything after the pepto until their upset quiets down after 12+hours.

No...never give an animal human medications unless instrycted to do so by a vet.
Call your local vet, or an emergency clinic and describe the symptoms to them. Based on that, they can either reccommend you bring the dog in to be seen immediately or tell what you can do until it can be seen on monday
