sorry for not getting back as soon as I wanted to. But he's okay! the dose of theobromine he got wasn't enough to be toxic.

Thanks for the link! no signs yet. but supposedly it takes at least a few hours for any symptoms to develop. the vet treatment seems to be activated charcoal + i.v. hydration. good to know there is an effective procedure for dealing with it. If I see anything obviously wrong i will go to...

he's a holland lop. It was about a quarter of a teaspoon. (i eat small circles of bakers chocolate, and one fell on the floor, and he had half). I gave him some greens immediately. I know http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theobromine_poisoning is a big concern. I hope his body will be able to...
