Came home from valentines day brunch with hubby only to find Valentines day gift...a box of chocolates...opened, emptied and two hyperactive boxers in the living room!!! well, at least they left one for me.
Its a 419g box of Turtles Chocolate. they are caramel and pecan covered with chocolate each individually wrapped. I've looked up and down on the internet and I don't know if I should wait or take them to the vet. If they have already digested the chocolate there is not much the doctor can do...inducing vomiting will only cost me big bucks at the vet...x2 dogs!
should I wait it out, hubby has taken them to the field to run it off...hmmm...increased hyperactivity...running maniacal dogs...increased heart rate....:wacko: they are both young dogs Ruby is 2 and Sophie 1 1/2.
I think I will wait it out and see....don't want to incure hundreds of dollars in vet bills unnecessarily:eek5:...:::insert worried look here!::: They are my babies and I don't want anything bad to happen to them...but I also don't want to jump the gun and run to the vet, if they can just let the chocolate hyperactivity wear itself off....I know I can expect it to come out on the other end also, but I don't know it was enough chocolate to be toxic for them.
Anyone else have their dogs eat chocolate? A whole box?
