Standard Milky way bar (4 inches ?) that had been in the lake so it was VERY soggy.

Accepted Answer

Dear friend,

You do not have to worry about chocolate toxicity from this candy as the actual amount of chocolate is very minimal(see below) Or the paper due to his size..It is not necessay to have him throw up but save this link for future reference:

Just feed him some very spongy food like bread, cheese, mashed potatoes, etc.

He could get diarrhea from the sugar. If he does,he can have Immodium, kayopectate or any OTC at www.wolfdancer.org/health scroll down for products and dosages.

If he developes any constipation or abdominal pain he should see a vet.. It can take up to 36 hours to pass the paper so just monitor his stool til then

Please let me know how he is doing.I will always be here for you.

Your baby should be fine.

Sincerest best wishes,

Terri
