Hi, I think she needs to be admitted to the hospital for treatment with antiarrythmic medicatiions and anything else depending on how she is when she gets there. She will likely need to have activated charcoal. I hope you can have her rechecked soon as I have had bad experiences with chocolate toxicities t=in dogs with such a high heart rate. Sending positive thoughts !
