Thank you!

I have a 55-60 pound Golden Retriever who is 1 and 3/4 years old. My two boys spilled about half of a container of Nestle Baking Chocolate POWDER all over my kitchen this morning and I don’t know if the dog licked any of it up. However, today he has pooped twice and his second bowl movement was starting to get very soft. He has also vomitted a small amount of water. He was at the groomers all day and so he hadn’t eated since 6am. He just ate his dinner at 4pm and so far hasn’t thrown up and his spirits are still fine. He is generally a bit hyper as it is so I’m not sure how I’m going to determine whether he is hyperactive or not. I am in a panic over this and we do not have the money to take him to the vet for fluids right now. We have no way to do that (normally we have no problem spending gobs amount of money on our dogs if they need it… but that was before this economy hit). Is there anything I can do for him here. Making him throw up seems futile now because he would have, if he did, ingested the baking powder at 8am. At that time there was no sign he had ingested any so I put it out of my mind. Denial maybe.

Do you think that if he licked any of that powder up it would be toxic to a dog of his size? I’m not good at the conversions and don’t know exactly how much theobromine is in Nestle Chocolate baking powder. In general it seems that there is 111mg of it per 1 tbsp.

Please help.
