If a dog eats chocolate and another dog eat that dogs poop, will the dog that ate the poop be sick too? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | 2 years and 10 months old

It is likely that most of the caffeine and theobromine will have been digested and absorbed prior to defecation. I would monitor for any symptoms in the other dog to be on the safe side. As with any chocolate toxicity, it is best to have your veterinarian examine your dog to administer the most appropriate treatment. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
