Dear Lord

[cherper]

Leila ate out of the trash again. This time I think she got some peanut butter cookie bar that had choc chips in it. There was a corner piece my daughter threw away and it is not there and I caught leila skeedaddling out of the kitchen when i came in and giant hole in bag. She is such a brat and does that on every given chance.
What should i do? should i panick?

[Sarah]

How much chocolate was there??

You could make her throw up?? Get some table salt and pour a teaspoon down her throat she won't like it wait ten mins if she isn't sick pour another teaspoon and then she will puke up everywhere so put er somewhere it's ok for her to be sick

[cherper]

i'm not sure sarah it was just the edge left so maybe 4 choc chips?!!

[Sarah]

If she was mine I would make her throw up but that's just me I'd rather it was out of her system just to be safe

[cherper]

I'm scared to pour salt down her.

I'd call the vet and ask them to advise you. Or the emergency vet if your vet is closed. Probably best to have her get it up like Sarah said. See what they tell you over the phone, if they think inducing vomiting is for the best. I personally wouldn't want that in her.

[cherper]

I called my vet. he said she would be ok and not to worry about it. She seems fine, i just tried cutting her nails and she acted like a caged lion. I got 2 nails cut and i am clawed up and exhausted.

Glad you called your vet. Eek about the nail cutting. Have you tried using a grinder? Once they get used to it, it really is much easier and there's far less risk of going into the quick.
