Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! How likely Ziggy is to be affected by this depends on how much chocolate he ingested relative to his weight. If it the typical size of galaxy minstrels made how they are typically made, then it is likely that Ziggy will be fine. It really comes down to how much was ingested. Some of the clinical signs that can be noted include gastrointestinal signs such as vomiting and diarrhea all the way down to even neurologic signs such as tremors and seizures and cardiac arrhythmias in severe cases. I recommend that you have Ziggy evaluated by your veterinarian if you think that the amount he ate is too much based on the galaxy minstrels being bigger than typical or for example being made of dark chocolate. At the very least, his vitals can be checked to ensure they are normal. I really hope that everything goes well! Good luck!
