Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Was it milk or dark chocolate? Dark is worse for them. I would think he would be fine if it was milk, not sure about dark. You can give him a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide to make him throw it up. _________________ -Sara |

| Kelly, I looked it up because I was curious! You have nothing to worry about. Your 27 pound dog would need to eat about 27 ounces of milk chocolate for anything tragic to be taking place. One of those eggs is only about 1.3 ounces! No need to worry I'm sure Hayden will be just fine . The sources I found say that in order for milk chocolate to be toxic, the dog would have to consume the same number of ounces that the dog weighs in pounds. |

| Ha! Yum - cadbury egg.
For future reference, if it's something that won't hurt on the way back up (bones, sharp objects, chemicals), make him vomit.
Frosti ate a piece of gum hubby didn't see (sugar free anything is toxic to dogs) - so we gave her 1 tsp per 10 lbs of weight to make her vomit. It happens fairly quickly - in between 5 and 10 min after ingestion. I mix it with pumpkin or some mashed fruit to mask the taste. |
