Pepe, 27.2 pounds, just ate a small white chocolate cookie. It was maybe the size of s half dollar, slightly bigger. Should I be concerned? I know dark chocolate can be pretty bad. I do not have the package, a friend left them behind. I. Asked and she does not have the package.

Pepe will likely be fine unless he is unusually sensitive. White chocolate has the lowest concentration of the chocolates. He may experience some vomiting or diarrhea or he may have no signs at all. To be safe, watch for signs of toxicity such as tremoring, seizures and hyper excitability. If you want to be proactive in regards to possible GI upset, you can feed him a bland diet of 25% boiled white meat chicken and 75% plain boiled white rice tonight and tomorrow morning. If you see anything worrisome, head to the emergency clinic. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions!
