My puppy ate chocolate frosting, vomited, now hyper. Should I worry?

Question

My German shepherd puppy ate half of a container of chocolate frosting while I was at work. We called the vet and induced vomiting within the hour, but now 6 hours later, he is much more active than usual. He is about 16 lbs, And we think ate about 8 oz of Duncan Hines classic chocolate frosting. It's midnight, so we would prefer to only take him in inly if it's an emergency. Should we be worried? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 26 days old | 15 lbs

Oh no, that was naughty of Gunner! Given that being more active than usual is the only sign you are seeing from him, I would not take him into an emergency vet. If he starts vomiting, having diarrhea, excessive urination, a racing heart rate, muscle tremors, or seizures, then I would take him into a vet immediately. Continue to monitor him, as symptoms of chocolate toxicity can take up to 24 hours to emerge.
