my brother in laws terrier ate a full box of brandy chocolate liqures when he was about 6 months old...and was inibriated....We took him to the vets who made him sick and kept him over night.

Then about 4 days later he had his first fit....the vet thought this was a neorological disorder brought about by the chocolate.

He died recently and we are all very sad .........but it wasn't due to the chocolate or the fits...he was 18 years old ( yes even we were shocked by thiswhen we worked out that he came when my niece was 4 and she has just passed her teaching degree this year)....but it just shows that although they may not die from chocolate consumption it may affect the rest of their lives...

I actually have a chocoholic dog now....so we have a good supply of doggy choc drops and all human chocolate ( not that we have much cos hubby and I are dieting is in the top cupboard...lol.....even a springer would have trouble breaking ino that one)
