To think they should take him to the vets

[Huggyhuggy]

My mum and dads dog had a full box of ‘black magic’ dark chocolates yesterday and today has vomiting, wheezing, and is laid down looking very sorry for himself but they won’t take to the vets saying none will be open now

Glad he is ok.

The OP didn’t neglect this dog. She sought advice and one way or the other, got appropriate care for him
Her parents are idiots, clearly. But in no way is she responsible for that!

Glad it all worked out ok

I get that…

Thank you for the update. I’m very relieved he’s ok and hopefully on the road to recovery. He looks absolutely gorgeous. Please tell your parents to be more careful in the future. Dried fruit - currants, raisins and sultanas are also highly toxic to dogs.

Thank you for updating us @Huggyhuggy I am so relieved he is okay! He is a beautiful boy. Thanks for looking out for him. I hope your parents invest in insurance, even at the most basic level.

Oh that's fantastic news!

Glad he’s ok OP and sorry you got such a pasting from some dicks on here.

What treatment did the vet offer?

That's good news @Huggyhuggy What a gorgeous boy he is; he's got such a sweet expression. Thank you for the update. 🐕

What did the vet do OP?

Am so pleased he’s home and ok @Huggyhuggy !

So pleased to hear your update, he is gorgeous. Thank you op for your action.

Glad he's OK. I knew he would be. The hysteria on this thread was something else.

relive hes ok some people just shouldnt have pets

thank god you were there

Oh give over. You knew nothing of the sort.

To be fair when my small dog ate copious amounts of chocolate the vet was very nonchalant about it and told me if he'd been sick (which he had) there was basically nothing they could do and he would probably be sick and very unhappy for a day or so. They didn't even want to see him.

Been thinking about your dog all day, so relieved he's ok
and you saved him !

He's gorgeous 😍 I'm so glad he's OK, been thinking about him all day x

Well, I did, though.

Tbf the dog could very easily have died eating that amount of chocolate.

I'm so glad. Well done for looking out for him

OP didn't say what the dog weighed. And the 9 chocs he consumed... the chocolate would have been a coating with filling... not a solid bar.
When my greyhound was in her rebellious (dog)teen years, she ate a whole bar of dark chocolate. I called the vet, and considering her weight and the amount she ate... they were not concerned at all, and she suffered no ill affects (apart from a chocolate addiction).

A medium sized lurcher eating 9 small, chocolate shells? Nah.

Plus the box of Elizabeth Shaw dark mint crisps he’d eaten the day before. Seriously shocked at how blase some posters are about their pets. I’d never take a chance with my dogs.
