What Should Be Done in Case of Chocolate Ingestion?
If a pet ingests chocolate, it is vital to act quickly. Contact your veterinarian or an emergency animal clinic immediately. They may induce vomiting and provide activated charcoal to prevent further absorption of theobromine. In severe cases, hospitalization for intravenous fluids and medications to control heart rate and seizures may be necessary. For humans, while serious toxicity is unlikely, it's wise to consult a healthcare provider if large amounts of chocolate are consumed and symptoms develop.
