Subject: Xylitol Warning please pass on to ANYONE with pets!!!!
Only 3 grams of Xylitol (found in sugar free chewing gum) is enough to kill
a 65lb dog. And QUICKLY!!!!! Please pass this warning on to everyone you know
who has dogs. It may just save a life.

Warning to all dog owners pass this on to everyone you can
Last Friday evening, I arrived home from work, fed Chloe, our 24 Lb
dachshund, just as I normally do. Ten minutes later I walked into the den just in
time to see her head inside the pocket of Katie's friend's purse. She had a
guilty look on her face so I looked closer and saw a small package of sugar-free
gum. It contained xylitol. I remembered that I had recently read that
sugar-free gum can be deadly for dogs so I jumped on line and looked to see if
xylitol was the ingredient. I found the first website below and it was the one.
Next, I called our vet. She said to bring her in immediately. Unfortunately, it
was still rush hour and it took me almost 1/2 hour to get there. Meanwhile,
since this was her first case, our vet found another website to figure out the
treatment. She took Chloe and said they would induce her to vomit, give her
a charcoal drink to absorb the toxin (even though they don't think it works)
then they would start an iv with dextrose. The xylitol causes dogs to secrete
insulin so their blood sugar drops very quickly. The second thing that
happens is liver failure. If that happens, even with aggressive treatment, it can
be difficult to save them. She told us she would call us.
Almost two hours later, the vet called and said that contents of her stomach
contained 2-3 gum wrappers and that her blood sugar had dropped from 90 to
59 in 30 minutes. She wanted us to take Chloe to another hospital that has a
critical care unit operating around the clock. We picked her up and took her
there. They had us call the ASPCA poison control for a case number and for a
donation, their doctors would direct Chloe's doctor on treatment. They would
continue the iv, monitor her blood every other hour and then in 2 days test
her liver function. She ended up with a central line in her jugular vein since
the one in her leg collapsed, just as our regular vet had feared.
Chloe spent almost the entire weekend in the critical care hospital. After
her blood sugar was stabilized, she came home yesterday. They ran all the
tests again before they released her and so far, no sign of liver damage. Had I
not seen her head in the purse, she probably would have died and we wouldn't
even had known wh y.
Three vets told me this weekend, that they were amazed that I even knew
about it since they are first learning about it too. Please tell everyone you
know about xylitol and dogs. It may save another life.

It is in some toothpastes too so BEWARE using HBUMAN tooothpaste on DOGS teeth!
