Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. 100g of dark chocolate is a lot for a small breed dog, like Teal. Fast respiration can be a symptoms of chocolate intoxication but it could also be a sign of nausea, abdominal pain, general discomfort. If Teal continues to pant or develops other symptoms of chocolate intoxication, like racing heart, generalized tremors, restlessness, nervousness you should take her to your local vets as an emergency.
