Angry at my dogs

My doggies ate my Lindt Easter bunny from my mum god knows how the got it because it was on the kitchen work top! Now I'm scared they're gonna be ill! Naughty dogs

keep an eye on them cause chocolate is not good for dogs at all, hopefully they will be ok

As it was a small amount and its not dark chocolate I think they'll live. Never doubt a staffy with food they will always find a way!

Awe I know it's Incredible, I'm guessing they climbed on kitchen table and jumped onto the work top! Yeah hopefully I'm just really worried :s. once it comes out the other end? Is it gone from the system?

I'm not sure it will upset them too much, Moo has managed to eat half chocolate bars, and ice creams when she she is a pavement hoover!

Just keep an eye

Chocolate is one of the danger foods because dogs can be extremely allergic. Some eat it and are fine though so we will hope for the latter. We had one that ate half a pound of baking chocolate and we were terrified, but he never had even a little bit of an upset tummy. Usually you would know pretty quick.

Just hope they dont grow giant front teeth and start jumping around asking for carrots, you should be OK

I think they'll be fine, a little won't hurt them.

Where there's a will there's a way, and with staffies, where food is concerned, there is ALWAYS a will!!

Haha! I'll let you know in a couple of days! Jasper has thrown some of it up now. Silly dog, he has eaten chocolate before and has been fine so i'll just keep my eye on them! Thanks everyone

Yup Staffies are hoovers, who needs dysons? Lol

My boy would always find a way to the mop bucket to drink the bleachy water, didnt help he knows how to open doors, he was always fine thou thank god :-D

Reminds me of my parents old dog Pepsi she was a Heinz 57, one day mum had cooked a chicken and left it in a glass dish covered in tin foil on top of the oven (right at the back) when we went back in the kitchen the dish was in the exact place it had been left but was completely empty tin foil and all

How are they doing?

How are they? I've lost count of the number of times Millie has done something like that to me. Easter eggs, blackforest gateau, biscuits. Times I've thought there was no way she could reach things and she has found a way. Even caught her once taking things out the bin and sharing with Bella

6 onz , about 160 grams of chocolate can be fatal in a 20 kg dog! Coco powder and dark chocolate contain the most theobromine, the substance in chocolate that is poisonous. Vomiting is an early sign, bloating of abdomen, blood in vomitus, seizures, going blue (cyanosis) and death may follow.
You may be lucky this time, as there probably is not that much theobromine in the Easter egg you describe.
See your vet if worried. early treatment involves inducing vomiting and giving charcoal.
Prevention is always better than cure.

Oh :s im not at home today but i havent heard anything from my mum so im guessing all is ok, one of them was sick yesterday and it came up a lot of chocolate, they've had it before and been ok so fingers crossed.

How long would symptoms take to come? Faith's been sick a couple of times today but she ate some of the chocolate on saturday. But she has just moved over to adult food so it could be that or something else she's eaten.

Romeo has eaten loads of chocolate in the past. If I recall there is a danger level regarding the type of chocolate and weight of the dog in question. His danger level is about the same amount as a layer of chocolates in a large selection box.
Of course you shouldn't feed it to them on purpose...
Our Rottweiler once ate an entire tub of butter and a block of cheese when my genius sister left it open on the counter. He didn't even have to jump up to reach. He also once managed to open the oven and eat most of a cooked chicken including bones.

Omg haha they're so naughty when it comes to food! no matter how much i tell them off it happens again with something!
