My Birga got into my purse and ate two full packs of Trident gum with Xylitol. Xylitol can cause a massive insulin release, hypoglycemia,possibly coma, and death if untreated. They are watching her... ready to give her iv. glucose if she needs it.
I'm so fraught I posted in the wrong place...sorry.

Oh, goodness, Dayna! I just happened to catch this before bedtime! I'm glad she's at least back at home already and also that you realized how harmful Xylitol is for animals and got her into Emerg. so quickly. Yes, it's great for humans, but terrible for other species -- just one of those things. That's really good that you got a stethoscope to take home, too, and I'm assuming the vet. told you what to listen for. I'm betting you'll be up all through the night though, checking -- sometimes paranoia can be a good thing, right?
But here's hoping things will settle down quickly and w/o further incident.  Man....who'd-a-thunk you'd need to keep your purse in a strong-box?! Hugs and healing thoughts to the both of you from me, too.
