If possible, call when you are en route so that we are waiting for you when you arrive. Treatment includes hospitalization with round-the-clock care, blood monitoring, and administration of intravenous glucose and liver-protective agents. Sometimes blood transfusions are needed if there are blood clotting issues caused by liver failure.
If you use products that contain xylitol be sure that they are stored out of your pet's reach and preferably in a cabinet or drawer that latches shut. Our four-legged family members can be very smart and determined when it comes to getting something they want. Technically it is the natural form of xylitol. But do not be fooled, just because it is the "natural" form of xylitol doesn't mean that it is a safe or better form of xylitol.

Abstract Xylitol, a sugar substitute frequently used in sugar-free gum, is generally considered harmless to humans but it can be extremely toxic to dogs. Introduction Xylitol can be found naturally in low concentrations in fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, and sugar cane. Table 1 The amount of xylitol and number of fresh gum sticks that can cause hypoglycemia in dogs [ 16 — 18 ].
Size of the dog Amount of xylitol to cause hypoglycemia in dog g dose: 0. Open in a separate window. Materials and Methods 2. Extraction Method Overview A flow diagram of the method is shown in Figure 1 that includes sample collection, xylitol extractions by grinding gum pieces using a mortar and pestle, and centrifugation to remove any particulates before preparing solutions for GC-MS analysis. Figure 1.
Extraction of Xylitol from Fresh Gum Samples Sample collection: 4 gum packs, each containing 18 gum sticks, were randomly selected from a commercial package containing 14 packs. Figure 2. Results and Discussion 3. Figure 3. Figure 4. Figure 5. Selection of Internal Standard Choosing a correct internal standard IS can improve a method's accuracy and precision. Figure 6.
