Peroxide is ok, but NO IPECAK esp for small dogs!!!!

well now she is acting fine she actually was hyper for a while but I had her stay in her kennel ALL night (bout killed both of us!) though I remember when my nana had two dachounds they were so old (8-20 yrs) she started buying any kind of chocolate and feeding it to them! she gave them milk chocolate, bakers chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate and any other chocolate you could think of! but those dogs still lived for a long time before she just couldnt stand to see them suffer anymore and had them put down... they were good dogs. I remember them well

I have gagged my dogs a few times... They have gotten into things they shouldn't have.... Anyways- One way is to dump a teaspoon (i believe) of salt on the back of the toungue. Force them to swallow it. Take it outside, and soon it will puke.

The peroxide is a good suggestion, and works great. Just use a syringe (without the needle) and squirt it down the dogs throat. 10-20 cc should do it. Then outside immediately

Salt is toxic too. You can use the same technique with peroxide safely.

My vet told me years ago to keep hydrogen peroxide handy when my Dalmation followed me as I put out ant stakes, and she popped the top off 'em and ate ALL the jelly out of them. There's more poison in those than is needed for ants and dogs love the taste.

Just pour about a quarter cup of it into the dog's mouth - easy to do, actually, by pulling down a lip on the side of the muzzle and pouring slowly into the teeth. The dog will naturally lick and swallow enough for it to work.

Dose for peroxide is based on size, and you can redose if needed. Age, health, and size all play a role in survival. Milk chocolate is unlikely to kill, dark chocolate definately can.

I lost my 15 year old schipperke to a few ounces dark chocolate last June. It looked like the german shepherd had pulled the bag off the counter, but not eaten any. The schipperke was smart on opening bags. I caught her in the act, called the vet and induced vomiting. Then got her to the vet immediately. They induced vomiting again and got more out, then charcoaled her. About half an hour later the seizures started. They tried giving her stuff to stop the seizures but it didn't help. She just was to old and her body wasn't up to par to win the fight.

I still miss her a great deal. She was my best friend through a divorce, remarriage, and my husbands military deployments. All chocolate of any sort is kept up very high now. I've also warned my brother on the chocolate. He got two toy dogs this past summer which are much tinier than a schipperke. He was told by a friend of his that the chocolate toxicity was a myth and believed them.

Giving hydrogen peroxide will make them puke up fast.
