Last night at like 10:30 my dog ate about 3 special brownies. He's about 80 pounds. I looked it up online and found something that said it could take up to 24 hours to pass through his system. One of the syptoms it listed was leaking urine and he peed in his sleep last night.....poor dog. I'm pretty sure he's okay now, but I can't stop freaking out...I hate when people get their pets high and I feel so horrible. Has anyone had this happend? Will he be okay?

Back in college my friend and I split a large amount of stuff and his parents' dog ate my half which was a lot. Ate it right out of the bag too. His folks were away. Dog was spaced out lying in a puddle of urine the next morning. Vet took it lightly, and said that the dog would be fine, but took some blood just to check for possible liver damage. Dog came out A-OK. She was a full grown husky and ate about an 1/8th. You should probably take him in since he also ate chocolate which is very bad for dogs. I'm sure that he'll be fine though.
Footnote to this story: My friend felt guilty and threw his half away. Why didn't he just give it to me since his dog ate mine? ???

I'd be more worried about the chocolate than the corn, with that said my cat is a definitely a corncat. He comes around and sits as close as possible. I once found he had grabbed a bag of corn and took it into one of his favorite hiding places (the bathtub). He gets real excited for about 30 mins after wards, goes to find something to eat and then crashes. Sounds familiar.

Unless he's in a really bad way, I'm not sure I'd take him to the vet. There's not alot they'd be able to do for the corn and it should just pass out of his system given time. Just keep an eye on the dog. The chocolate would be the main concern, but seeing as how it was only 3 brownies for an 80 pound dog, if this happened around 10:30 last night and he's still relatively OK, you should be good. If you're really concerned call a vet's office first and ask about the amount of chocolate and the timeline.
If this happens again, or with anything else chocolate, pour some hydrogen poroxide down his throat as soon as possible. This'll make him puke pretty much everything up. It's definately not a pleasent experience for your dog, and he'll probably want to steer clear of you for a while, but it's better than the consequences of chocolate poisoning.
Well, he is totally fine now. Nothing bad happened to him, I think it passed through by this morning. I wasn't really worried about the chocolate because he has a strong stomach and has gotten into chocolate before without anything happening. And I also found something on a bunch of different websites that said it would take about the equivalent of 2-3 candy bars to poison a 10 pound dog.
I ate someone's special brownies that I bought on friday and they were fantastic. Putting the special aside, they were the best damn brownies I'd had in a long time!
Chocolate poisoning for dogs is a lot of hype. it takes a lot of dark, like bakers style, chocolate to poison a dog. milk chocolate bar, brownies, etc - not going to be an issue.
special ingredients are also, mostly, not harmful.

My dad is also a vet of 25 years and I agree with this... Dark chocolate is what you really have to worry about with dogs... other than that with milk chocolate the only thing I would worry about is your carpet because it can cause diarrhea... As for the special ingredients, nothing to worry about as well... it will pass and your dog will be more than fine.
