Cody got into a double chocolate cake coated with chocolate fudge when he was 5-6 months old. I was terrified that he ate a toxic amount. The vet said he would be fine but would probably be sick. She looked at the amount of cake he had eaten and said most humans would be sick eating 1/2 that much. Not Cody, he not only wasn't sick he demanded his regular amount of food for dinner that night.
