Thank you for submitting your question regarding Ralph. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian today. That is a large amount of chocolate to consume and it is obviously affecting him. Not only can dogs suffer toxic effects from chocolate, but pancreatitis can occur as well. He needs to be examined and determine how best to treat him. I hope this information helps!
