| Emergency overnight because of gum I just wanted to ask everyone to say a little prayer for Lola... she pulled some Trident (containing xylitol) out of my purse early this morning and ate it... she's now staying overnight at the emergency vet. She's stable but I'm still so worried, this is my first night without her since I got her. Also, I didn't know that sugar-free gum was harmful to dogs... I literally did a google search when she ate it, just because I was curious, and yorkietalk.com came up with some threads which talked about the dangers of xylitol. That's what prompted me to call the vet. In a sense, this website might have saved Lola! So thank you, thank you, thank you everyone for being such a great resource to me and to each other. I am very grateful for all of you today.

Hope your little girl recovers fast, and I'm so glad you acted fast. I think this is one of the most unknown dangers, we really need to spread the word. I hope you will share your story with others, and especially new mommies. My prayers are with you and Lola!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I will keep Lola in my prayers. Thank God for YT. When I read about xylitol on here I banned it from my house.

| You are not alone. So many people are not aware of the dangers of sugarless gum. Thank heavens you did a search and found out it was dangerous. Keep us posted on Lola, okay? |

| It is fortunate that you did your research about this! And acted ASAP , taken care of your precious Lola baby. I hope she is going to be ok. How scary for this to happen I don't have any of that stuff in my house, I know if I did Suzi would be the first one to find it! She has a habit of going through my pockets! ANd Suzi has found Tums before , these little Yorkies are clever.

| I never knew it either until I went to the vet the other day and saw a poster of bad food for dogs and gum was on there. Bella has eaten gum out of my purse before. Not much, but I didn't notice any side effects and was unaware of the danger at the time. Hope your baby is well!
