my dog just ate a pull package of the mini oreos (fun size). she is about 30 pounds. she has eaten chocolate before and has been fine. will oreos hurt her??
Call your vet ASAP. They can tell you exactly how much chocolate is toxic to your dog. I had this happen once with my two dogs. They both ate an entire tin of instant chocolate flavored coffee.
My vet told me to force feed the dogs hydrogen peroxide with a turkey baster to make them vomit. I then had to rush them to the emergency clinic and the vet deposited activated charcoal into their stomachs.
All dogs like chocolate, but chocolate can be dangerous. Chocolate contains a caffeine like alkaloid called theobromine. While not toxic to people in the amounts present in commercial foods, theobromine in these amounts can be quite harmful to the dog.
Signs of chocolate toxicity occur within hours after the dog ingests the chocolate. They include vomiting, diarrhea, increased heart rate, rapid breathing, muscle tremors, seizures and coma. A dog can have one, some or all of these symptoms so pay close attention to the dog.
**********A small dog weighing five to ten pounds can die after eating four to sixteen ounces of milk chocolate; a medium-sized dog weighing twenty to forty pounds can die after eating sixteen to thirty-two ounces; a larger dog after eating about two pounds. Individual variations do occur. Unsweetened chocolate (used for baking[cakes/cookies, etc.]) contains higher concentrations of theobromine and is therefore more toxic. A large dog can die after eating just four ounces.**********
Treatment: If you know your dog has eaten chocolate, induce vomiting (see Vomiting, How to Induce). If two or more hours have passed, administer activated charcoal to prevent the toxin from becoming absorbed.
Don't feed your dog chocolates. To prevent accidental ingestion, keep chocolate candy in the refrigerator.
Toad Poisoning - Since all toads have a bad taste, dogs who mouth them slobber, spit and drool. In southern states a tropical toad (Bujo marinus) secretes a potent toxin that appears to affect the heart and circulation of dogs, bringing on death in as short a time as fifteen minutes. There are twelve species of Rufo toads worldwide.
Symptoms in dogs depend upon the toxicity of the toad and the amount of poison absorbed. Signs vary from merely slobbering to convulsions and death.
Treatment: Flush your dog's mouth out with a garden hose and attempt to induce vomiting. Be prepared to administer artificial respiration.
there is greater sugar in oreos than chocolate and with some canines chocolate is high quality. regrettably you do no longer high quality out in the journey that your canines is a sort of till something like this happens. that's greater of a undertaking if that's candy like a chocolate bar or field of chocolate candy. that's relatively helpful to call you vet and supply them heads up. do no longer feed her lots this night in case you do cooked rice and with the two cooked meat or rooster. make helpful she has water. desire all is going nicely. Take care;~)

Not fun, and it was expensive.

Yes, he may be hurt. But sometimes he wont. Dogs shouldn't eat so much of table scraps though. If you are really stressed, go to the vet.
call the vet just to be sure because dog's can't have chocolate
She should be fine but you could call the vet and ask what they suggest to do if you are worried.
oreos are not chocolate. Make her drink coffee.
Doggies can die from chocolate.
Next time, be careful.
But, doggies are also very resilient.
Your little dog will probably survive and be fine
