It sounds like your dog has ingested some chocolate, which can indeed be toxic to dogs due to the presence of theobromine and caffeine. Although the amount she consumed is relatively small, it's crucial to monitor her closely.

The fact that she has vomited three times suggests her body is attempting to expel the chocolate, which is a positive sign. However, please continue to watch for any additional symptoms such as restlessness, an increased heart rate, tremors, or seizures, as these could indicate chocolate toxicity.

In the meantime, make sure she has access to plenty of fresh water to help flush out her system. It's best to avoid giving her any more food or treats for a few hours to allow her stomach to settle. If she continues to vomit or exhibits any of the more severe symptoms I mentioned, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian as soon as possible.

Keep a close eye on her condition over the next few hours. If her symptoms persist or worsen, seeking veterinary care is recommended to ensure she receives the appropriate treatment.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
