Not a problem. If pup lays down drooling, or starts convulsing get him in. A friend's lab ate half a bar of baking chocolate and had to get emergency stomach pump. Chocolate mousse should hurt them. But look for signs of organ shutdown over the next hour. I doubt you'll see any.

..mousse SHOULDN'T hurt..

Not that anon but with that amount, at the most they might have an upset stomach. They will be fine.

Thanks a lot, it's been about 5 and a bit hours now and they're just having a snooze... typical. I'm sure if there was anything serious I would've seen some symptoms by now, but they've played some fetch and are all tuckered out. Talked to the poison lady again and she just told me the same thing, upset tummy, a bit of diahrreah, but other than that they should be good.

"Ma'am...ma'am...it's ok. You can calm down. Don't worry about it, the dog actually just passed away...thank you for trying though."

I had to come pick her up from work since she was too upset to drive.

Can vets do anything besides inducing committing and stomach pumping? I always knew what dogs can't eat and avoided it but is there anything they can do if the theobromine is in them?

I think it's weird that we can reverse most drug overdoses and venom(not so much the damage already caused to organs) but chocolate is so common and has been around for ages I would have thought someone came up with a 'cure' already. From what I've read it seems they can't do anything if it's already absorbed.

Vomiting* thanks autocorrect.

I'm back. Had a chance to talk to my friend this morning, his lab ate the baking chocolate.
Symptoms were
Restlessness
Vomiting
Dry heaves
Pacing
Drooling
Motionless laying, panting, heaving.
He was staying at his mom's house, after a while she came down and said what the hell is going on?
>Dog is sick
No wonder, THREE POUNDS OF UNSWEETENED BAKING CHOCOLATE we're here when I went to bed.
Phone calls were made to find emergency vet on holiday weekend. Only one was 45 mins away.
>I thought the dog died twice on the way. He stopped breathing, and had no heartbeat.
Vet induced vomiting with hydrogen peroxide, administered activated charcoal, and gave an i.v. for dehydration. They kept the dog overnight.
>I was sure we'd never see him alive
They got a call from vet next morning
>Come and get him. He's all better.
Dog acts like it never happened


TLDR
80 lb lab eats three lbs of baking chocolate, (milk chocolate has logirithmically less poison component) becomes violently ill for at least two hours before veterinarian attention. Dog was treated and recovered.
Fifteen hundred dollars.
