: I am usually so very careful about leaving things out that could harm my darling babies.
: Now it seems that I may have failed, and I am looking for some reassurance.

: A package of mini chocolate bars exploded on to my couch a few days ago. We were so sure that all had been rounded up, that no further thought was given to
: the kiddos sleeping behind the cushions, until yesterday. While retrieving the preg female, I found a thouroughly chewed candy bar (about 1/3 of it was gone)
: and she was licking her chops --- I KNOW chocolate is, or can be, toxic to many animals depending on their constitution. Also I dont know if the preg female
: ate all that herself, or if her hubby and daughter helped. And I dont know how long they'd been at it.

: -- Does any one think I may be in for a funeral soon :( ,
: or did I luck out this time. I didnt go to the vet, because he said there wouldnt be anything he
: could do, just watch them.

: -- How long, do you think, before I would know if there is a problem.

: As of this morning everyone's seems okay.

: Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

: Cordially,
