My dog ate chocolate, vomited, now has tremors. Should I see a vet?

Question

My dog weighs approx 13 lbs and ate 2.2 oz of bittersweet 54% chocolate about 7 hours ago. He started wanting to vomit so I induced vomiting with hydrogen peroxide. He has calmed down a bit and only shows signs of tremors during inspiration. I don't think this should call for a vet visit from what I've read. At this point 7 hours after ingestion with induced vomiting yielding about a cup of fluid, should further medical action be taken? unemployed pet owner.

Oh Banksy! He should not have reached the toxic level from that amount. However, if he is showing signs of tremors, I recommend seeking medical attention. He could be shaking from the peroxide as that can cause GI upset, too. Your safest bet is to contact a veterinarian. He may need treatment for the tremors. Good luck and kisses to Banksy!
