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.

Thanks to all for their support and healing vibes sent.

I took the stethoscope back to the vets today. Birga feels well enough to bully Amos, but we took her to see her regular vet anyway. He scheduled her for an ultra-sound tomorrow, just to make sure the paper and foil have cleared her intestines, because we have not found any in her stool.

The conversation we had with her vet about the bloat and geriatric dogs scared me silly though. And just confirmed my decision to cook for the pups.

Love and Thanks again to everyone! wub.gif
