A 60 pound dog that ingested 2 ounces of milk chocolate is unlikely to die. This level of chocolate ingested may cause vomiting and diarrhea, but it should not last longer than 24 hours. If it does, Roza should see a vet. If she doesn't weight 60 pounds or you think she may have eaten more than 2 ounces of chocolate, post a new question with as much information as you can provide so we can help. Or choose a consultation so we can make sure we have all of the information we need to help you.

    At the low end of your weight range of 23lbs, the nestle chocolate bar Marco ate should be about 4.4oz, which puts him at a mild reaction to the chocolate. Her heart rate will likely be slightly increased and she may be panting, but this is not a fatal dose of chocolate. If she is heavier than 23lb, she will likely be just fine and you most likely won't see any changes in her behavior. If she begins to worsen, becomes lethargic or has seizures, I would get her into a veterinarian immediately for treatment. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
