Nine chocolate kisses equals about 1.45 ounces, so 12 kisses would be 1.93 ounces. Based on the chocolate toxicity calculator, at Josie's weight, you will see minimal to no reaction from eating this amount of chocolate. You may see some GI upset, such as vomiting and diarrhea, and if you do, I recommend withholding food and feeding a bland diet. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet.
