Thank you, everyone, Piper has stayed quiet and seizure-free as far as I know. I missed her 11:20 appt due to a newly broken toe (mine, not hers), but she is rescheduled for 4:20 for bloodwork. Keegan has stayed very close to her, watching as though he knows something's a little "off."
I will feel better after the labs, but I am hoping that we caught it in time and am encouraged by the uneventful night.
Thanks again. I'll post the results in a few hours assuming that they can tell something by then.

Prayers.

Merry Piper's blood sugar was at a healthy 82 when we arrived at the vet. This is a good sign, as Xylitol poisoning causes hypoglycemia.
Her liver panel won't be back until midday tomorrow, but we are optimistic that her liver, if damaged by what we couldn't get to fast enough, may have been only mildly affected and that we can offer "liver support over the next several months." She's so young, I really hope her liver has managed this well.
Thank you again, everyone, for their prayers and good thoughts for Piper.

Oh no! Sorry about your toe! Ouch!

So glad to hear Piper's doing good...

The vet said that this must be the week for pups to get into things. In addition to Piper and the gum, she's had a full day of large dogs whose owners just got Girl Scout Cookies...She said inducing vomiting in a Yorkie puppy is so much different than inducing it in big dogs who've stuffed themselves with cookies.

Very happy to hear that Piper's blood sugar is good, and praying her liver panel brings also good news. Relieved for you that her prognosis is excellent.

Girl Scout cookies -- oh no! I can only imagine how hard it must be to have a large dog that can reach things on tables and countertops. We have had only one large dog and it was a miracle that she never touched anything.

Same here--our big dog was so well-behaved we almost felt guilty! He never even ASKED for anything. Little Merry Piper is trying to make up for all the mischief he never got into, methinks.

Hahaha! My brothers and I were teens when we had our big dog and we would often eat in front of the TV. We could put our plates on the coffee table and the dog would never touch them. The Yorkies have their noses in everything!

KeeganRiley · 03-19-2014, 07:18 PM

The vet called today and I could tell from her voice it was good news! Piper's liver panel came back looking very good, which means we got the xylitol in time and got it all. She is good to go! I am SO RELIEVED!!! And so is Piper--her digestive system is kicking back into gear and--having had a snack--she's racing around like a lunatic.

Great news!!
