Pets Asked by diegoaguilar on March 14, 2021
My chihuahua licked some chocolate from a 41g dark chocolate bar. She licked/ate a really small amount and though I can’t tell how many grams it was, it seems that it should have been less than 5 grams?
She’s really small, weighs less than 2 kilos and it was about an hour ago.
Should I worried or take her to vet?
Here is a website that calculates the risk: PetMD Chocolate Toxicity Meter According to this, a 4 lb. dog that ingested 0.2 oz of dark chocolate will have very mild symptoms, and you should keep an eye on him/her for GI upset, vomiting, or shaking. More serious indications would be tremors, seizures, hyperactivity, or racing heartbeat. (Note that I rounded down on weight and up on amount ingested when converting to U.S. units to see worst case). So you are probably OK, and I would guess that any symptoms would have shown up by now.
