For all dog owners out there. We are in the midst of a scary time with our black lab. She managed to find and consume a container of ice breaker gum that my son had purchased but not put out of reach.
I woke to my dog yelping in the midst of convulsions. We rushed he to the vet and found out that the sweetener is high toxic and can't be metabolized. It spikes their insulin and tanks their blood sugar causing low blood convulsions.
It also can cause liver failure. We are now praying that she recovers. Her liver makers had spiked last night but fortunately they are done a bit this morning.
I would never have imagined that something like a pack of gum could potentially kill a member of our family so be careful.
