On Thursday evening, I came downstairs to find Sandy and Clara surrounded by candy wrappers - and not just any candy ...CHOCOLATE wrappers. Sandy and Clara had found my candy bag that I'd just brought home from school. From the looks of it, they'd eaten a whole lot of it too...Knowing how serious a problem chocolate was for dogs, Jeremiah and I took them to the Emergency Vet in Visalia...40 minutes away... by this point, the chocolate had been absorbed into their bodies, and Clara's heart beat was way too fast.
After several terribly long hours of vet care, we heard miraculous news - our dogs were healthy enough to come home! We know this was such a huge miracle because the story doesn't always turn out this way for dogs who eat chocolate. Thank God that I found them early enough... turns out they'd eaten more chocolate than we could have imagined...
