That all said I've known 3 pitties that have induced down several bags of kisses that were on top of a fridge. Perfectly licked foil squares and tiny paper flags decorated the kitchen like it had snowed.
They were on one hell of a sugar high but that was all.
they've dug chocolate bars out of my purse (while it was put up, high)
And no ill effect.
The oldest is nearly ten now with no cumulative effects for any of them.
My 5 month old blue nose razor hedge ate a 6 pack of baby Ruth mini candy bars with a another 6 pack nestle crunch bars , how serious is this ???
I don't know. You might want to take him to a vet just in case. A friend of mine's dog once jumped on a counter, ate a whole German Chocolate cake, and was completely fine. I don't think I'd risk it with my little dog though. Fortunately he can't jump on to the kitchen counters.
American chocolate...risk is low since theres only a VERY small amount of actual cocoa in US chocolate lol.
now if you said baking chocolate, or baking cocoa powder or Belgian chocolate ect...then it would be an issue...
My dog loves chocolate and has never had a problem with it one time my dog riped open a toy and ate the stuffing in it so we got her x rayed and the doctor said she was healthy and perfectly fine.
Here's some info about the toxicity of chocolate in dogs, cat, etc.
Animals that metabolize theobromine (found in chocolate) more slowly, such as dogs [1], can succumb to theobromine poisoning from as little as 50 grams (1.8 oz) of milk chocolate for a smaller dog and 400 grams (14 oz), or around nine 44-gram (1.55 oz) small milk chocolate Hershey bars, for an average-sized dog. It should be observed the concentration of theobromine in dark chocolates (approximately 10 g/kg (0.16 oz/lb)) is up to 10 times that of milk chocolate (1 to 5 g/kg (0.016 to 0.080 oz/lb)) - meaning dark chocolate is far more toxic to dogs per unit weight or volume than milk chocolate.
The same risk is reported for cats as well [2], although cats are less likely to ingest sweet food, with most cats having no sweet taste receptors. Complications include digestive issues, dehydration, excitability, and a slow heart rate. Later stages of theobromine poisoning include epileptic-like seizures and death. If caught early on, theobromine poisoning is treatable.[48] Although not usual, the effects of theobromine poisoning, as stated, can become fatal.
My pit bull ate a bag chocolate from the Cheesecake Factory could he die because of it?
Depends on how much chocolate was in the bag and how big your dog is. Also dark chocolate is worse than milk chocolate. Call your vet and tell them how much he ate and see what they recommend.
