I should think the problem is over, but call your vet to be sure.
She shouldn't have chocolate or raisins (grapes are a no-no). The chocolate used for covering raisins is not very high quality, so she probably didn't get much actual chocolate, but she is a small dog and any chocolate is dangerous.
Please call your vet and tell him/her what happened - and please be more careful about leaving things around - dogs are very persistant when they want to reach something.
Good luck.

Grapes are toxic to dogs. Since raisins are dehydrated grapes, they are bad for dogs too. As you know, chocolate is poisonous to dogs. My Min Pin once ate a half a box of raisins and was really sick and threw up for a whole day. He was fine the next day and has been fine ever since. Once, my dalmatian ate a whole package of m & m's and was fine. As to whethere your dog will be fine depends on how big your dog is and how much chocolate covered raisins your dog ate. If your dog starts acting weird and not like its normal self I would take it to the vet.

It sounds like your chihuahua will be OK but I would take her to the vet for a checkup anyway. Tell the vet what happened. Please note that your baby will probably have a bad case of diarrhea.
Little stinker :). Like someone said above, the chocolate on the raisins is probably low quality and probably has very little chocolate in it. The coating is probably 99% corn syrup.

Keep in mind, you can call a poison control center in your area if your pet eats something poisonous like medicines, etc. They can give you instructions on what to do. Poison Control Centers aren't just for people, they are for animals too! You can call infomation and get the number, or look in your phone book. It's good to make a note of the number and keep it handy. If your dog gets a hold of something in the future, just call the Poison control center, they can tell you quickly what to do in many instances.

She should be okay.. the stuff in the chocolate will make them hyper and if they are young the heart can take it. Just give her a lot of water.. and lots of outside time.. chocolate is a natural laxative!

I think if she were going to die, she'd have done so by now. If you dog eats chocolate, she needs to see the vet immediately, not the next day.

Yes there is a chance, or she may get very very sick. Take her to the vet immediately. Chocolate has a substance in it that is poinsonous to dogs!
Next time, keep these chocolate items out of your pup's reach! Good luck

Since it's a day later, she'll probably be fine, but I'd have the vet check her over to be safe.

she'll be fine. sometimes chocolate causes small dogs to have siezures and they could die but everything your dog ate has already passed through her systsem.

I doubt she will die. the chocolate that is so poisionus to dogs is choclate in its pure form(bakers choclate cocoa ect) however any chocolate is bad for dogs. but if your worried you should call your vet.
