A seven years old Rottweiler dog was presented to Veterinary Clinical Complex, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Kishanganj, Bihar, in lateral recumbency with a history of anorexia, vomiting and diarrhea (loose stool) over the previous two days. History taking revealed excessive consumption of chocolates (both milk chocolate and dark chocolate) by the dog two days earlier. The case was clinically diagnosed as chocolate toxicity. Tachycardia with arrythmia and tachypnea were noticed on cardiac and lung auscultation, respectively. The dog was treated with Normal saline solution, Propranolol hydrochloride, Ondansetron, Ranitidine hydrochloride, Cefotaxime and Vitamin B complex. Complete clinical recovery was observed after 3rd day of treatment. It has been concluded that such cases of chocolate toxicity can be successfully managed with appropriate supportive treatment and diligent monitoring of the patient.
