Chocolate toxicity is largely dependent upon the type of chocolate consumed, the volume of chocolate, and the period of time in which it was eaten. I am going to link you to a chocolate toxicity calculator that will allow you to more easily assess how serious the situation may be. http://petsci.co.uk/chocolate-toxicity-calculator-dogs/ In mild to moderate reactions to chocolate, vomiting and diarrhea may persist for days. In more serious reactions, cardiopulmonary signs and some minor neurologic signs can exist. You may want to consider taking Whiskey to the vet to be assessed for evidence of dehydration.
