๐ถ WHAT GOES DOWN MUST COME UP! ๐ถ
These two gorgeous pups recently found themselves in a spot of trouble after getting into some sugar-free gum, which can contain xylitol, an ingredient that is highly toxic to dogs. โ ๏ธ
Xylitol can cause a rapid drop in blood sugar and, in some cases, serious liver injury. Even relatively small amounts can be dangerous, so prompt veterinary attention is essential if you think your dog has eaten something containing xylitol.
And just look at that sad face, Otto! ๐ฅบ What goes down, must come back up! ๐ Thankfully, these two were brought in quickly for treatment and monitoring, and our team was able to get them the care they needed. โค๏ธ๐พ
๐ Keep sugar-free gum, lollies, mints and other products containing xylitol well out of your pet's reach.
If you think your dog has eaten xylitol, don't wait for symptoms to appear โ contact your veterinarian immediately.
Thankfully, these two little gum thieves are now doing well! ๐ฅฐ๐ถ๐ถ
