Hello there! It's great that you're reaching out. Chocolate can be quite dangerous for cats, especially kittens, because it contains substances like theobromine and caffeine that are toxic to them. Even small amounts can cause issues, so it's important to monitor your kitten closely.
If your kitten has ingested chocolate, you might notice symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, increased thirst, restlessness, or in severe cases, an increased heart rate and seizures. If you see any of these signs, it is crucial to seek veterinary care immediately.
At home, ensure your kitten has access to plenty of fresh water and a quiet, comfortable place to rest. Try to keep track of how much chocolate might have been ingested, as this information can be helpful.
Watch for any signs of distress or unusual behavior in your kitten, and don't hesitate to get in touch with a vet if you have concerns. If the chocolate was milk chocolate, the risk is lower, but dark or baking chocolate can be extremely toxic.
To make sure your kitten gets the best care and advice tailored to their situation, I would recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets through Dial A Vet. They can guide you effectively and provide peace of mind. Take care!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
