Liver damage is a concern. I'd be especially worried in any breed prone to liver disease like Yorkies are:

I am going to tell everyone I know about this.
I seriously never ever knew! I wonder if my friends who have small dogs even know!? I know my family doesn't.


I've been ripped off before with my dog and especially my cats at emergency vets...what exact should I be asking for in regards to tests for her?? Should she be having bloodwork? Is there something that they give her to just neutralize in case she did swallow the gum?

Like I said, my husband JUST started working again after being laid off.......I will obviously spare no expense if it's my baby's life but nothing unnecessary, what would you recommend???

And thank you!!
