My 55-pound, 5-year-old dog, Darla, ate a 3.5 oz bar of Ritter Sport chocolate about 2-3 hours ago. She didn't throw up and is acting normally. She's on a low-fat diet but otherwise healthy. Can I feed her normally, and is there any risk of chocolate toxicity?

My dog, Odin, a 9-month-old mini/moyen golden doodle, has dark red splotches on his inner legs and belly that resemble bruising rather than bites. He has no ticks or fleas, gets monthly Revolution treatment, and is acting normally except for a slight decrease in appetite over the last few days. What could be causing these splotches, and what should I do until I can get him to the vet?
