With chocolate toxicity, symptoms of it appear within one to four hours, so given that it's been six days, I would have expected to see serious symptoms from it by now if the dose Baby ate was enough to be fatal. In a senior dog who "isn't herself," there's always the chance it's due to a serious medical illness such as cancer, kidney failure, heart failure, or liver failure among other causes. I would have Baby seen by a vet as soon as possible for a heath check due to that.
