I would highly recommend contacting the Aspca pet Poison hotline or pet Poison helpline to determine the next best steps towards her care. http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/ They will need the exact amount ingested (usually in ounces or grams) and the time that she ingested it, in order to give you a good recommendation moving forward. Here is also a website link to determine for yourself if the amount ingested was at a toxic level or not for her weight. http://m.petmd.com/dog/chocolate-toxicity?icn=HP-Hero&icl=chocolate-toxicity-information-meter This article discusses when and how to induce vomiting in your pet, if indicated. https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-things-you-should-know-about-chocolate-poisoning/ If she did invest a toxic amount, you can try to induce vomiting and then seek veterinary attention. Immediately for her. Best of luck with your pet Diamond. I hope she recovers well from her chocolate ingestion. Take care.
