Help! How many grams are in a ‘large’ Easter egg? Dog has scoffed one.

[ItWillBeAOK]

Milk chocolate egg. Large size (more like the old medium size). The box says 235g but that also includes 3 chocolate treats at 28g each. He ate just over half of the egg before he was caught (treats untouched).

Are the hollow eggs 100g? Does the 235g include the packaging?

I have of course called the vet who said to keep an eye but the toxicity should be minimum. He’s a 10kg dog. I’m worried I may have worked out the grams wrong.

We can’t guarantee he will be fine but the líkelihood is that he will be. Gastric emptying is usually around 4 hours so you wouldn’t have a huge amount of time to play with if you did decide to take him for apomorphine to induce vomiting.

At this time of night you’re looking at £250 just to walk through the door of an emergency vets. I’d probably keep a close eye on him and go if there are any signs of toxicity

I will keep a close eye on him. He has unfortunately eaten the DC chocolate before and been fine , but not half an egg.

That is fairly low cocoa solids, he should be fine. My dog ate half a chocolate cake once, and was completely fine, it was a shop bought cake without high levels of cocoa.

The nutritional info on that egg says it contains 6 x 25g portions. (What weirdo eats a sixth of an easter egg???). So 150g. Can you weigh what's left to get a more accurate idea of what he's eaten?

TY all for taking the time to respond. @Motorina I thought that too <grin> one sixth of an egg?
