Meet Devon
Devilish Devon the Dashaund felt like a naughty snack at tea time and decided to have some chocolate. At 10:15pm his owners called the Fur Life Vet clinic where our Vetriage nurse Erin consulted the chocolate toxicity calculator which indicated “potential death” then was able to arrange an emergency vet visit promptly.

Devon ate 100 grams of chocolate at 6pm, the client didn’t call the clinic until 10:15pm when Devon started showing symptoms of restlessness, swollen stomach and drinking lots of water. Our Vetriage nurse Erin was called and she arranged an emergency vet visit.

Erin contacted the on-call vet (Rosemary) to advise her of Devon’s condition and their ETA to the clinic.
Dr Rosemary gave medicine to Devon so he could vomit what he ate, to which he vomited 4-5 times of chocolate and toilet roll.
