My dog ate a whole pack of orbit strawberry mint gum
22lbs is 10 months old and a Frenchie
Veterinarian's Assistant: When was this? Has the dog thrown up since eating the gum?
Today while I was away from home. We were gone for about 4 hours he hasn’t thrown up and he’s not acting funny
Veterinarian's Assistant: Is there anything else the Vet should know about 22lbs?
No that’s all he’s pretty healthy
Regrettably, that flavor of Orbit contains the most xylitol at 320 mg per piece. How many pieces were in that pack, please?
Maybe 10 pieces he ate all but 1Actually 14 pieces
14 pieces x 320 mg/piece = 4,480 mg. 4,480 mg/22 lbs = 204 mg/lb. That's very close to the amount that causes liver damage (225 mg/lb) and much higher than the amount (45 mg/lb) that can cause hypoglycemia. I would hospitalize him at a 24-hour veterinary facility to have his blood sugar and liver enzymes serially checked over a period of 24 hours. If that isn't possible, overfeed him and dose him with 20 mL (one measuring tablespoon + one measuring teaspoon) of a sucrose-containing syrup such as Karo every 2 hours throughout the night and then have his blood sugar and liver enzymes checked tomorrow by his regular vet. Please respond with further questions or concerns if you wish.
You're quite welcome. I'll set a follow up for tomorrow but please return to our conversation - even after rating - with an update at your convenience.
