  2. We have a 6 week old pug puppy that has eaten a Hersheys kiss pice of chocolate candy. He may have eaten more, we are not sure how much he got.

Have heard chocolate is lethal especially for puppies. My guess is he weighs approximately 3 pounds. Can you suggest anything to give him in case the vomiting or diarrhea starts again?
