My dog ate some reese puffs and has a tender chest but no other side affects currently what do i do? Pet's info: Dog | Shiba Inu | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 3 months old | 17 lbs

My dog ate Reese's Puffs. What to do if he gets sick?

My dog weighs about 21 pounds he ate about 4 mini Reese’s hearts which would be about 2 regular size Reese’s I’m estimating? It was about 40 minutes ago and he is acting normal. Should I take him to a vet?

Hi there, if you wish you could have him checked over but the effect of the chocolate per se will likely be gastrointestinal signs. A tummy upset and no severe toxicity signs There is also sugar and fat between the ingredients which could trigger pancreatitis over the next few days. You have therefore the option of having him checked over now or monitor at home. If he should start to vomit and/or have diarrhoea you could have him checked over then. I also advise to feed him a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice , in small meals from tomorrow for 3-4 days. Alternatively you could offer him some gastrointestinal food from Hill’s or Royal canine . Your vet should stock these ! Hope all goes well

Reeses started eating some grass today and she has never done that, then she threw up and it her throw up was mostly dog food and then a tiny lil blue thing that looked like it had a tag attached to it. So she may have gotten in our garbage. She came

Vomiting is always concerning, and it may be Reeses ate something from the garbage upsetting her stomach. I can give you a home remedy for her to see if that helps. Withhold food tonight, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she refuses to eat the bland diet, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away.

It could be the M&Ms have upset Tyson's stomach. I can give you a home remedy for him to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

I have 2 large dogs (110 and 100 pounds). One or both ate about 5-6 Reeses Peanut Butter egss sometime today (or possibly yesterday but I think today). They are acting fine. Do I need to make them vomit?

This is not enough chocolate to cause toxicity unless your pets have an abnormal sensitivity. Check the ingredients to make sure there is no xylitol as this is toxic to dogs. If xylitol is present, they need to go to the veterinarian right away for further decontamination. While you may not see any adverse effects, eating candy can result in vomiting or diarrhea. Watch both your pups very closely for any adverse effects and have them seen by the veterinarian if needed. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Last night my dog ate a giant tub of sweets! I'm worrying a lot as she's pretty old and keeps throwing up. She keeps wining and her stomach is making some strange noises. Some times she goes for massive gulps of water. Non of the sweets had wrappers

If none of them contains xylitol, I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. Vomiting and diarrhoea (more likely) can occur in the next 24-36hours as a result of the intoxication, but no other signs should be expected. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if you notice persistent vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy or inappetence. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

My dachshund ate a full bag of Reese’s cups last night. Foil and all! He is throwing up foil balls now. Is there anything else I can do?

Oh no, it's not good that MJ ate an entire bag of Reese's cups! While one doesn't contain a lot of chocolate, an entire bag of them may be enough to cause chocolate toxicity, one sign of which is vomiting. Because of this and his currently symptoms, I would take him into a vet immediately for treatment. He needs decontamination procedures in case he is suffering from chocolate toxicity. There is also the potential that enough foils could cause a GI blockage, and that needs to be ruled in or out as well. Either take him into your normal vet or find an ER vet clinic or vet on call if your normal vet is closed. Best of luck!

My 11 lb dog might have eaten 1 reeses peanut butter cup. Should I be worried? Her belly is broken out, but it has rashed like this before. I caught her licking a piece of the brown reeses cup wrapper.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Luna. One Reeces cup likely does not contain enough chocolate to cause toxicity based on her size. It can, however, cause gastrointestinal upset or even a more serious condition known as pancreatitis. If she develops vomiting or diarrhea, then she should see her veterinarian. If she is allergic to any of the ingredients, inflamed skin could result. That being said, her skin changes could be the result of something else especially if it has happened before. You can bathe her with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as an oatmeal or fatty acid based formula to soothe the skin. If this does not help, then she should see her veterinarian. I hope this information helps!

I believe my dog ate a small snickers and Reece's. They were less than 2 oz and she weighs 9 odd. She threw up, had 1 BM and has been peeing. Only she wants yo be left alone and seems in pain. What can I give her?

This amount of chocolate is fortunately no enough to cause toxicity but it can cause gastrointestinal upset, which she is experiencing obviously. withhold food for 12 hours then offer Ava boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if she is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put her back gradually on her normal food. If she continues vomiting or is not eating, take her to the vet to get treatment.
