Milk chocolate can indeed be harmful to dogs because it contains theobromine and caffeine, which are stimulants that dogs cannot process effectively. The level of toxicity depends on how much chocolate your dog has eaten and her size. Since your dog is an American Pit Bull Terrier, her size might offer some protection, but it's still essential to act swiftly.

If your dog has consumed a bag of milk chocolate, it's crucial to seek veterinary care immediately. Symptoms of chocolate toxicity can include vomiting, diarrhea, an increased heart rate, restlessness, and in severe cases, seizures. A veterinarian can provide necessary treatments, such as inducing vomiting, administering activated charcoal to limit absorption, and offering supportive care like IV fluids.

Keep a close eye on her for any signs of distress or unusual behavior. Even if she appears fine now, symptoms can take several hours to manifest. Please contact a veterinarian as soon as possible to ensure she receives the appropriate care.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to reach out. Thank you.
