Argh .. What are the signs of chocolate poisoning?

[Montyforever]

Barney has managed to get into a tin of sweets, god knows how but I guess the cat could have knocked them down. There was a few raspberry sweets covered in a thin layer of dark chocolate and a crunchie in there (and some mints but he left them!)
He seems okay but what signs should I be looking out for incase he's poisoned?? very worried now!!

If that's all he's eaten, he should be fine.
just look out for abdominal pain, vomiting, restlessness and if you're at all worried give your vet a call, but I'd imagine he'd be fine

Thanks he seems okay at the mo and he would have eaten them at 9ish this morning as my mum went out at 8 and they were still there but they were gone when I got up at 10. He's a big dog but very accident/illness prone

I am no expert but if there was going to be a problem you would know by now

He may well get a touch of the runs! My old retriever once ate an entire box of milk tray but apart from a bit of diarrhoea he was fine so i shouldn't worry too much.

I found this quite interesting. Your dog should be fine
