WoW I am glad I just read the stuff below .......

:eek: :eek: :eek: OMG .... no kidding ...... :eek: :eek: :eek:

first off Tracey (beabble...I can't thank you enough for bringing this to my attention. I would have never have known about it, (((HUGS))) for helping me possibly save my sweet Kammie. I OWE you something someday in return.:) Words can't express how i am sittin here feeling at the thought of me not posting about gum in a furbutts hair. Life could have taken a very unfortunate turn for our family if this wasn;t pionted d out as soon as it was. THANK YOU!:)

Mayas Mom, I know right! :eek::eek::eek: we all need to be aware if this potentially fatal deal about xylitol. Maybe I can make another post and say what happened and put some quotes in from vets about it and admin will make it a sticky in the sick/help/question page, This is just something you would not expect! And the devastation and damage that can be done to our babies from xylitol, unreal:(


Judy in Waco and Wemple2 and Yorkiechonbella thank you so much for your prayers and kind words. (((HUGS))))

ok were off to snuggle for a little bit, we found a good show to watch, at least KAmmie can get some slleep if I'm not allowed :) it's what we have to do for her :)

You're very welcome Erin, and you don't owe me a thing, honestly, this is what friends and YTers do for one another. I remembered reading the article on it some time back and RAN to my sons room because he chewed the orbit gum, but it had been a while back and I couldn't remember for sure exactly if that was the kind they spoke about in the article I had read. I hurried as fast as I could and did a search and was so scared for you and your lil one when I read it. I told my son about it after I first read the article and he actually stopped chewing it cause he didn't wanna risk leaving it lay somewhere and Isaiah get it. I've just told all the kids, make SURE you DO NOT leave ANY gum at all laying around, this way we don't have to worry about it. It's sad though cause it's in more products than just gum and I know there are others in this world that share human foods with their furbabies not knowing about this stuff and what it can do to them. It'd be a great idea to make a thread on it and make it a sticky for others to read and be informed about. It may already be there, I don't know, I haven't been over to check the list of things that are toxic to our furkids lately. How's your lil one doing now? I keep praying that she'll be ok. Has she showed any signs of starting to get hypoglycemic?

Hugs to you both! Gizmo has seen his share of issues too, so I feel for you. I had to do the hydrogen peroxide once because he ate some of a silicone gel packet from a Guitar Hero game my son opened.

Before that, when he was just a little puppy, he actually got into some rat poison I didn't know was there in a place he shouldn't have been able to reach. That was a trip to the emergency vet where they induced vomiting and put him on vitamin k for over a month.

I know it's hard to watch them throw up, but you are doing the right thing. I'm impressed that you're staying up even after taking an ambien! Now that's some love.:hug:

:yorkietal

I hope everything is going ok. I just wanted to stop back in to see if there was an update before I head off to bed. I'll be sure to come here first thing in the AM and see how your lil one is doing. Still praying for a good outcome.

Hoping all is well...update when you can. I'll say another prayer for you and Kammie...

*~*~*~Update*~*~*~
 

Hey guys, I'm just getting up and around. I had some much needed sleep to catch up on. Everything is going well here. Kammie is back to her sweet self. DH took over about 5:30am. the vet called at 8 and DH took Kammie in to get checked at 9. She's looks as great as she did last week when we were in for a check up and her rabies vacc.:thumbup: he said! What an absolutely exhausting night! No more ORBIT or sugarfree gum/candy in our house!!! It's just not worth the heartache I went through last night.:(
Thank you all for your kind words and prayers, it means a lot to us :)
YT is the best:animal36

Just seeing this now and hoping Kammie and you are getting some rest and she is feeling better.

Great news...that's just what I wanted to hear. Now get some rest and enjoy your baby! Thank goodness...Thank YorkieTalk!!!

So glad to hear that all is well. I am also glad that I read this post. My JacK Russell has literally eaten full packs of gum. I guess we are really lucky that nothing bad has happened (that or he just has a stomach of steel). But I will warn my husband about this and we will be especially careful with little Cooper in the house!

Thank God for the support here on YT! That's why I joined.....there are so many things that you never know.:confused: I am so glad yr sweet baby is ok & I wish I'd known you would be back on....I would've stayed up to talk to give support....the least I could do, I'm a nite owl anyway.:rolleyes: Just glad everything turned out ok. I know it was a horribly scary nite!

OMG! Just now seeing this!! TG Kammie is ok!! My heart just dropped when i started reading your thread!! Poor baby!!! I have never heard of that sugar free stuff either so was glad to read about it on snopes. I am going to check everything we have around here...can never be too careful.
HUGS to you and Kammie!!!

I am so happy to hear this update! Yay!! :D

I'm so glad everything turned out ok and your baby is fine. I don't blame you deciding not to have that kind of gum in your house anymore, it just isn't worth the risk. Give her a lil kiss for me and tell her now stop scarring her Momma ;-)
