My 7 year old Schnauzer was able to get into a bag of chocolate candy three days ago. He vomited quite a bit but no diarrhea, just the usual pooping once, maybe twice a day, and that appeared normal. However, he has been drinking water excessively since then. Is this normal? I called his vet and was told that he may have lots of vomiting and diarrhea, but that he should be okay, and to give him bread to eat as that would absorb the chocolate. He has always like his water, but since getting into the candy, he has been drinking lots more, and I just want to make sure nothing is going on.
