My American Pit Bull Terrier ate about 30 Hershey's Kisses...?

When I came home today from work (around 4:30) I noticed that a box that had some Valentine's candy in it was opened and empty. Inside was about 30 Hershey's Kisses. Of course I know that chocolate can be very toxic to dogs. It's now nearly 10:00, and I don't notice anything odd about him, other than the fact he's got terribly stinky gas. He's about 80 pounds, if that helps at all. Any suggestions? I could take him to the emergency vet (about 45 minutes away,) but if he isn't exhibiting any symptoms now, do you think he could be o.k. (Other than the farts, I mean.)

    Dogs are lactose intolerant which is why he has the flatulence problem. Eating milk chocolate can be very toxic for dogs and he may have some diarrhea so make sure to take him out more often then normal. If he isn't throwing up or acting different than normal he should be okay. If you notice any change in the way he acts, depending on how big the change is, you may take him to a vet. He may have an upset stomach and the diarrhea like I stated above but it sounds like he'll be okay.
