What do I do if my dog ate chocolate? Is he going to die?

It depends, because a single chocolate chip isn't going to hurt him. If you're lucky, he ate so much that he'll just barf it all over the floor.

One of the signs of chocolate poisoning is vomiting and diarrhea.

Part of it depends on what he ate, as well as how much. Baker's chocolate is so dense that your dog needs to go to the vet immediately after eating it.

He got into Christmas candy.

Dark chocolate is more dangerous than milk chocolate. White chocolate is essentially harmless.

So the dog eating a few M&Ms won't really hurt him except to throw it back up.

A ten pound dog eating 5 ounces of milk chocolate is at risk of food poisoning. A puppy eating a couple of M&Ms could get sick, whereas a big dog eating a candy bar is only a little ill.

Poor thing. How do they treat chocolate poisoning?

They may induce vomiting or give the dog charcoal to decontaminate the animal.

Great, after eating the kids' Christmas candy, he has to eat the leftover coals from the fireplace.

This is activated charcoal for medical purposes. The dog may get an IV if vomiting too much to stay hydrated, and anticonvulsants treat seizures.

What happens if the dog did eat too much?

Chocolate has a chemical in it like caffeine, and it can cause digestive upset, an irregular heartbeat, pancreatic and even seizures.

Or death.

Tremors or seizures also occur. Death is actually rare these days, with pet ERs.

What about the upset stomach? How would they treat that?

They could give the dog an antacid to ease the stomach discomfort. Which would reduce the risk of an emergency house cleaning before Christmas parties.

That's the inverse of all the veterinary antibiotics preppers get in the name of their pet to store up for the end of the world.

Definitely a reason the kids put their stocking up on the fireplace next year.
