Today I made a bbq and used sugarfree maple syrup as part of a marinade. Did not remember to check to see what the sweetner was before I gave them
a few tiny pieces of meat each. It was xylitol. I was so hysterical I immediately took them to the ER. They are there now. Cassie is 2.5 lbs and Muffin is 4lbs. Muffin threw up the some meat but Cassie did not throw up any meat. I gave the them center of the meat not the crust where most of the marinade was, maybe 4 or 5 tiny pieces each. I cannot stop crying. I keep thinking I killed my girls. They will not know for 48 hours if they are in liver failure. They say there is nothing that can be done if they are in liver failure.
I am sick to my soul. Please Pray for Cassie and Muffin. I have thrown out every product with artificial sweetner in the house. How could I have done this to my own sweet babies? I am inconsolable.
