The vet will be able to determine the severity of the chocolate poisoning and provide the appropriate treatment. Treatment may include inducing vomiting, administering activated charcoal, or providing IV fluids. In some cases, hospitalization may be necessary.
Here are some things you can do to help prevent your dog from eating chocolate:
* Keep all chocolate out of reach of your dog.
* Make sure all trash cans are covered.
* Educate your family and friends about the dangers of chocolate for dogs.
* If you think your dog has eaten chocolate, contact your veterinarian immediately.
