Oh my god, my dog just got into my hersey's kisses I think she ate about 10 or 12? What should i do?

Question

I left them on my desk, and she got into them. I found wrappers on the ground. Like 10 th 12. there the little hersey's kisses. But they have almonds in them so.... I'm freakin out. Can someone give me some imput please.

She weights 14 to 16 pounds, shes really healthy. she's only 2 years old.

Answer 1

Give her one teaspoon of household hydrogen peroxide, to make her vomit. If she hasn't vomited in 5 minutes, give her another teaspoonful. This was advice from my own vet just last week.

the sooner you do it, the better. After she has vomited, encourage her to drink...In about 30 minutes later, offer her a snack of something she likes, as this will slow down the absorption of the remaining chocolate.

A few M&Ms killed my pug, so this isn't to be taken lightly, in spite of what others say.

Here is the info from a veterinary first aid site> The first-aid treatment for chocolate poisoning involves removing it from the body, quickly, before too much time passes and the theobromine has circulated, damaging the gastrointestinal tract in the process. The treatment includes:

* inducing vomiting, which removes, and then administering
* activated charcoal slurry, which absorbs.

The sooner this is done, the less the effects of the poison. That, in itself, explains the importance of dog owners having an emergency kit in their homes plus the knowledge for quick first-aid treatment.

To induce vomiting, Michelle Bamberger in Help! The Quick Guide to First Aid for Your Dog, Howell Bookhouse, New York 1993, recommends using three percent hydrogen peroxide, one-to-two teaspoons by mouth every 15 minutes until vomiting occurs. Alternatively, she suggests using Syrup of Ipecac. Use, she says, two to three teaspoons, only once.

You can get Syrup of Ipecac at almost any pharmacy. You do not need a prescription from your doctor. Syrup of Ipecac is inexpensive and will keep for several years if stored at room temperature.

After vomiting, Bamberger says to give the dog by mouth activated charcoal mixed with water to a slurry consistency. The dosage is 1 teaspoon for dogs who are less than 25 pounds and 2 teaspoons for dogs weighing more than 25 pounds. << http://www.dogownersdigest.com/news/library/chocolate-poisoning-dog-care.shtml

Answer 2

She'll be just fine. Probably a little hyperactive for a few hours. Yes, I am aware that chocolate in large amounts is bad for dogs, but this is not enough to really hurt her.

I had a 40 pund dog eat a 2 pound bag of M&Ms once. He didn't even puke.

Man was I pissed after I paid the vet and everything, only to be told that he might get the runs. He didn't even do that.

Answer 3

Call the vet and put her under survellance. Depending on how she reacts to them (every dog is different) she may need to go through Detox. I worked in a vet- a lab came in that ate only 1 dove chocolate and died. A toy poodle ate 12 chocolate chip cookies and was fine (other than a stomach ache for eating so much). A chocolate poisoned dog is not pretty, though if it is caught early enough, they can usually live through it with detox, fluids, and meds.

Answer 4

Chocolate is only toxic in very large doses. Almonds are not toxic to dogs. Are you sure nobody else ate them? I've never heard of a dog unwrapping his candy first...

Give him lots of water and monitor him for vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, etc. If she doesn't seem to be ill, she'll probably be fine. Also, milk chocolate like hershey's kisses is the least toxic type of chocolate, dark and bakers chocolate are worse. I think your dog will be okay, but take her to a vet if she is acting sickly.

Answer 5

Get to a vet asap. They will most likely give her charcoal or something to make her sick. Google vets and look for a 24 hour vet near you. Call them before you leave to tell them what happened and you are coming. They may recommend something else to do right away like feeding her or givng her water. Either way def call the vet 1st befro you do anything else and hope for the best.

Answer 6

I just spoke to my vet about this today! Induce vomiting immediately. For a small dog (under 10lbs) Pour 1-2 capfuls of hydrogen peroxide down your dogs throat. After 10 mins if the dog doesn't vomit, give another capful. You can also purchase syrup of ipecac at most pharmacies. CONTACT YOUR VET After vomiting make sure your dog gets plenty of fluids to flush them of the "poison" out of their system asap. For a food assist, feed your dog canned pumpkin because it has tons of fiber and it moves through the dogs track very quickly.

Answer 7

call the er vet. they will probably have you give her some hydrogen peroxide to make her vomit up as much as she can before she absobs them. and they'll tell you what to watch for to know if you should bring her in or not. contact a vet asap. some dog's are fine and it was a pretty small amount. but some dog's aren't and you don't want to take that chance. call the vet and you'll feel better. good luck.

Answer 8

i might in my view beat the little *****! She might purely be slightly female yet i don't supply a damn what absolutely everyone says, she does not need to stay. Serial killers initiate out beating harmless animals-small animals, like the canine! even while i replace into youthful I on no account harm any animals and earlier somebody ask how might you recognize-I asked! I choose the fat little ***** might get beat like the undesirable canine. No animal is undesirable, notwithstanding if the animal assaults somebody that's something a man or woman did-have been given to close, canine felt threatened or the canine proprietors taught the canine to be propose, maximum possibly the final one. i does not have purely watched and video taped for a variety of minutes-after that i might have grabbed the canine a dragged the little ***** lower back to her mothers and dads.

Answer 9

3 oz. of baking chocolate or 1.5 lbs of milk chocolate can kill a 20lb dog. Look for any signs of Dilated pupils, Restlessness, Rapid Heartbeat, Muscle Tremors, Vomiting, Seizures, or Coma.
Your dog needs to vomit followed by giving it activated charcoal, This can be difficult and messy I recommend you take her to the vet ASAP. If it's after hours go to emergency vet closest in your area. This is serious.

Answer 10

Time to visit the emergency vet - chocolate is very toxic. Call first to see if you should do anything while on way.
