My dog ate M&Ms and is sick. What should I do for chocolate poisoning?

Question

My boxer ate a handful of M&Ms two days ago. Seemed fine and played outside etc normally but vomited last night. Seems less than his playful activity but is still responsive to me and loving. A bit quoter than usual. Whatt should I look for? He weights 75 pounds. Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Male | unneutered | 2 years old | 80 lbs

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!
