Some local vets say they are seeing more dogs that have ingested xylitol, which is found in fruits and sugar-free gum. "They can go into liver failure, and it's a pretty bad, life-threatening toxicity,” Dr. Monica Clare told the San Diego Union-Tribune. While it's harmless to humans, pets will die if they aren't treated quickly. Symptoms for you to watch out for of xylitol poisoning, includes vomiting, and a weak and wobbly appearance.
I hope all the children and adults alike take extra caution when they have finished enjoying their piece of gum and place it carefully into a waste bin, so to ensure the safety of all our four legged friends out there, one of which could be their own family pet.
