Our 3,5 month old lab puppy managed to steal a whole chocolate bar (180g milk chocolate) while we moved christmas packages around and ate it whole.
We force-fed a handful of salt to him immediately after noticing what had happened and he vomited almost all of it out. I called a vet and got instructions to give medicinal coal and monitor closely if any symptoms appear.
It’s been several hours now and he’s pretty much back to normal, a bit beaten up due to vomiting and upset stomach, but at least so far seems like nothing permanent happened. He’s got a vet scheduled anyways in few days for other stuff so he’ll get checked up at the same time.
This is such a problem is, getting ingestions around the holidays. Managing pet safety slips and suddenly the dog is drunk or poisoned by foods they shouldn’t have.
Training for a positive relationship with a muzzle saves lives and I wish more people did it
