Spike got a tiny piece of chocolate that fell on the ground. I washed it of of his toe but he ate a piece He seems ok and is sleeping on one foot. And he was asking Icarus if he wants to go to bed like usual. Does anyone know what I should watch for? puffed up ect? Thanks

I found an article on this signs of chocolate toxicity include: hyperactivity, vomiting, diarrhea, heart arrhythmias, seizures, dark colored droppings.
Here is a link to the article if your interested http://www.oldworldaviaries.com/text/miscellaneous/toxicoses.html

How much is a tiny piece? I'm not sure what it would take to be toxic, but it is probably more than a crumb that fell while someone was eating some.

Just watch him carefully tonight and tommorrow...Mine always try to go for the chocolate and I have to put them away anytime I'm eating it.

Spike seems fine today I weighed him and he is 79 grams. And he seems to be acting normal. I going to weigh him again tonight. It was a whole made chocolate bark with pretzels in chocolate, I think that is why it broke apart so easy. I will keep checking him though tonight to make sure though. He won't be out anymore when there is chocolate around.
