If you meant "dark" chocolate, they can die from it. Dark chocolate "can" be fatal if they eat enough of it. If it's been a few days, and your dogs are still alive, they will more than likely make it through this, they'll just be sick to their stomachs for a while. Also you don't say what size these dogs are. If a large dog eats a half of a candy bar of dark chocolate, he'll get sick to his stomach, but should make it through it. If a small dog eats that same amount of dark chocolate, it could be fatal. It also depends on how fast you got them to the vet. But from what you say, this happened a couple of days or so ago, and I think they will make it. Just remember not to leave any dark chocolate laying around, and tell anyone who enters your house, the same thing. Good luck. Okay, if you mean chocolate candy, yes they will get sick.

I worked at my vet's office for a while, and we had a few "My dog ate something bad" cases, and they were always fine. My guess is the IV is to keep them from getting dehydrated as they pass the candy. I wouldn't worry too much! They're probably wishing they could be at home instead of at the vet's office!!

It doesn't do any good for me to tell you the dog will be ok, as I have no way of knowing any more than you do. You paid your vet for services; you should ask your vet tomorrow morning since you didn't do so today. All that sugar was toxic, and how your dog does depends on it's will to fight the illness, and it's general health. Your sister had better not make that mistake again, and, if the dog survives, you had better train the dog so it doesn't get up on the table to steal food. Meanwhile, don't leave things around. I'll pray that your dog survives without any serious problems. -!- That’s a painful lesson.
