Guest mameyer Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Hi, So, my 75lb ibd greyhound Ari and 15lb cockapoo mix Henry got into 1/2 of a 12 oz bag of peanut butter m&m's and 1/2 a box of lemon cookies sometime in the past 4 hours. Not sure who the culprit was, but I found all the packaging intact (how thoughtful of them!). Both seem to be acting normally. Ari's HR is 72 and regular, gums are pink with good cap refill. Henry's HR only is around 60....seems to be much slower than normal for him (just going by his vet exam records, I've never listened to him before), but his gums look good with good cap refill as well. Don't know what I'm in for other than a lot of diarrhea. Can't imagine there is a lot of chocolate in a peanut butter m&m? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retread Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I don't think there is enough chocolate to cause a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmc333 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'd think you're fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KF_in_Georgia Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) Please check the label on the lemon cookies and make sure there's no Xylitol used as a sweetener there. If there's Xylitol, head for the ER with both dogs. (Complications from Xylitol may not show for days; by then, it's often too late.)

Guest dmt Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I think they'll be fine. My girl, Odie, ate about half a dozen m&m cookies and was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mameyer Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Thanks all! I figured all I was in for was gurgly bellies and diarrhea. Was more worried about the chocolate and the little one, but it looks like theres only 20% milk chocolate in peanut butter M&M so even if he ate them all himself he'd be ok. No xylitol in the cookies, either. Always nice to have a little reassurance from everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1229 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 It's the pure or high percentage cocoa chocolate you gotta worry about. And yes, probably upset tummies and puddles o poo for a bit.. and them sad eyes looking at you wanting more of the good stuff again Quote Isis, Always in my Heart Bijou, My Sweetest Angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FlosMomma Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 My girl counter surfed & scarfed down a whole bag of chocolates last Christmas & she was fine (although I was in a state of panic). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mirthlesstroll Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 You'll probably see some Big D, but other than that they should be OK. My BMD ate a whole bag of Hershey Nuggets (wrappers and all) Sparkley Big D all day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
