My dog ate raw cake batter. What should I do if he's not vomiting?

I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

I’m so sorry to hear about Zeke! I worry less about the chocolate content and more about the butter content triggering some pancreatitis. I expect Zeke will have some vomiting and diarrhea. If the vomiting occurs more than 3 or 4 times or for longer than 8 hours, or if Zeke is not wanting to eat by dinner time tomorrow, it’s time to see the vet. The diarrhea may last for 1-3 days but if it’s profuse or lasts more than 3 days (or worsens with time instead of improving), it’s also time to see the vet. In terms of feeding: I would not feed anything right now and if vomitjng starts, pull food and water. Reintroduce water 4 hours after the last vomiting episode and a small meal 12 hours after the last vomiting episode. Hope this helps and best of luck to you and Zeke!

That was naughty of Rudy to eat the cupcake! The good news is that with his weight and the amount of cocoa powder he ate, there will be minimal to no reaction from it. There is no need to induce vomiting. There is a potential for an upset stomach, diarrhea, and agitation, and if you see any GI signs, withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. Otherwise, Rudy should be fine :-)

How naughty of Kiba! The toxicity from chocolate ingestion varies widely based upon the type of chocolate, amount consumed, and Kiba's body weight. For example, a 15 pound dog that ate 0.5 oz. of baker's chocolate could experience significant elevations in his heart rate and arrhythmias, whereas a 15 pound dog that ate 0.5 oz. of milk chocolate would be unlikely to have any issues. Chocolate ingestion can cause vomiting, diarrhea, elevated heart rate, arrhythmias, seizures, and even death in severe cases. Try to determine the type and amount of chocolate used in the frosting to determine if a chocolate toxicity is possible. Feel free to request a consultation or post another question for a more specific answer. There is a chance that Kiba could experience some gastrointestinal upset, such as vomiting and diarrhea, as a result of eating the cake. Consider feeding him a bland diet of boiled chicken and white rice for the next few days while monitoring him for changes. After a few days, gradually transition him back to his normal diet while mixing the foods together.

As these episodes are very commonly related to dietary indiscretion, I would recommend to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, more severe lethargy or inappetence.

Monitor for gastrointestinal upset (vomiting and/or diarrhea). You may want to withhold food for the next 24 hours, allowing small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. If Louis develops GI upset, the fast followed by a bland diet fed in small, frequent amounts will typically resolve the issue. Transition slowly to his regular diet after symptoms abate. If they don't or if he develops lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain, have him examined by your veterinarian.
