What are the consequences of a dog eating chocolate by mistake?

It depends on what kind of chocolate it is, how old the dog is, and whether it can induce vomiting.

When a dog eats chocolate, it gets sick when it's small, and it kills when it's big.

Even if your pet doesn't consume enough chocolate to poison him, the high calorie content of sugars can cause them to vomit and have diarrhea. Once the misfortune happens, carefully observe the baby's situation, the poisoning reaction has not disappeared within 8 hours, quickly find a veterinarian, (puppy 4 hours) detailed description of the type of chocolate that the dog eats and its amount. Generally, the prognosis is very good if the poison is rescued within 4-6 hours.

If the dog is not resuscitated within 12-36 hours, the dog needs to be hospitalized**. Take good care of the dog and don't eat it by mistake.

You take the dog to the hospital to see if it's a problem with the outer packaging, a lot of chocolates are packaged in tin foil, that looks soft and soft, but that one is very sharp Also, if those things are eaten and arranged out, it may also affect the absorption of food

1.Find out what kind of chocolate your dog ate. There are many types and brands of chocolate, and different types of chocolate contain different amounts of ingredients that are harmful to dogs.

If we can know what type of chocolate the dog has eaten, then when we tell the veterinarian, they will give us the best ** advice. Comparatively, milk chocolate and white chocolate are the least dangerous for dogs, followed by dark chocolate, and baker'S of chocolate, theobromine has the highest content. 2.

Leave the chocolate package that the dog stole behind. The dog steals the chocolate and leaves the bag of the chocolate, wrapper or label with the specification content on it. This makes it easier for the veterinarian to check what type of chocolate was eaten, or if the package has been swallowed, and to make sure that the package itself does not pose a risk of clogging the dog.

At the same time, the veterinarian will also check the packaging for other potentially dangerous ingredients (such as xylitol, sugar substitutes, etc., which are also very harmful substances for dogs). 3.Try to estimate your dog's chocolate intake.

We can try to estimate how much chocolate the dog has eaten. If it's a whole piece of chocolate, we'll see.

Look at how much it eats, then measure the amount of chocolate it may swallow, and calculate how much theobromine is contained through the equipment and instruments of the pet hospital. If your dog eats chocolate by mistake, then before we take him to the doctor, we can prepare for these three aspects to help the dog get some chance to recover.

Questions. He ate four purple candies.

He ate four purple sugar chocolates.

When the dog eats chocolate, the remedy is to immediately induce vomiting and then send it to the pet hospital for first aid. The method of inducing vomiting is to pour soapy water, which can cause the dog to vomit, which is also a relatively easy item to obtain. After vomiting, let the dog drink more water to promote metabolism, and then immediately go to the hospital for first aid.

If there is no vomiting, diarrhea.

Decreased appetite. , lack of energy and other reactions should be fine, poisoning and thin hair color is not directly related, you should pay attention to it.

First, must be as soon as possible to induce vomiting, if the dog eats chocolate, then the owner found that must be timely to the dog to induce vomiting, the dog vomiting can directly choose to use hydrogen peroxide, can directly choose 3% concentration is better, do not choose high concentration, otherwise it may affect the health of the dog, properly feed the dog some hydrogen peroxide, so that the dog can induce the stomach to spit out these chocolates.

Second, use other food to dilute the content of chocolate, if the dog vomiting has no effect, and does not spit out the chocolate, then at this time the owner can give the dog to eat some of the things it usually likes to eat, so that after the dog eats other things, the ingestion of these chocolates can be diluted in the dog's stomach, which can also alleviate the phenomenon of dog poisoning.

3. Exercise, generally speaking, after the dog eats chocolate, it will be poisoned for about 6 to 12 hours, so during this period, the dog can be allowed to exercise more, so that the effect of excretion can be achieved. Remember to make sure that the dog runs around with his life, so that it is more conducive to vomiting.

3. Take the dog to the doctor in time. After the above two steps, if the dog's symptoms have not been effectively alleviated, then the owner must take the dog to the pet hospital in time to seek help from a doctor.

What do you recommend? Dogs can't eat chocolate, you know.

If you eat chocolate, I recommend taking medication.

First of all, if the dog's intake is very small and the dog does not show adverse symptoms, it is recommended that the owner give the dog plenty of water and help the dog to induce vomiting. After that, pay close attention to the dog's mental state and breathing. Secondly, if the dog's intake is too large, it should immediately induce vomiting and then send it to the hospital for infusion, enema, etc.**.

Since a large amount of chocolate can cause kidney failure in dogs, it is usually recommended that owners keep these substances out of the reach of dogs.

Theobromine contained in chocolate is harmful to dogs, and can easily cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, frequent urination, irritability, and accelerated heartbeat and respiratory segment movement. In severe cases, it can lead to cardiovascular failure, which can eventually lead to death.

But you don't have to worry too much, I think it was okay at the time, and it will be fine in the future, my dog loves to eat Dove very much, and I didn't see any reaction to eating it in the past, but I was a little excited after eating. But since I learned that chocolate is harmful to dogs, I stopped feeding it.

I think you too, as long as you don't feed it anymore in the future, don't worry about it anymore now.

In addition, I would like to tell you about some other foods that are not taboo for dogs. First of all, milk, this is not necessarily not edible, it varies from dog to dog, some dogs vomit and diarrhea after drinking milk (mostly puppies), and some have nothing (such as my baby).

Then there is the onion, this is resolutely not edible, once in the veterinary hospital I heard that the dog ate the onion and was sent to the hospital for rescue and died, so it is recommended that you do not take the risk to try.

Animal liver, such as chicken liver. This one or two times, a week or two weeks, even if it is a year or two, may not die, but it is said that the liver contains a lot of vitamin A, and if you eat too much, you will be poisoned by vitamin A, and then your body will start to be bad, what osteoporosis, periodontitis, digestion and **, and fur will get worse and worse. In short, it is the first to decay before the old age, and the life is similar even if it does not die.

This baby of my family is, lived for seven or eight years, at least six or seven years to eat chicken liver, and then every day is to find a place to lie down, no energy, I thought it was too old to be like this, and then more and more do not like to eat, so I changed her staple food, and now she is old and lively.

There is also less seafood.

That's all I know, I hope your dog is healthy.
