My dog ate a Vitafusion sugar-free gummy. Is it toxic to dogs?

These gums can potentially cause gastrointestinal upset and, if xylitol is inside, can cause profound hypoglycemia and liver toxicity. Gastrointestinal obstruction are possible as well. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately.

Many types of Trident gum contain xylitol. This artificial sweetener is extremely toxic to dogs because it very quickly causes hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) and liver damage. At this point, you should take Gidget to an emergency veterinarian immediately. They may or may not induce vomiting since it's been over an hour since she ingested the gum. They will also be able to closely monitor her blood glucose and liver values, while administering supportive IV fluids and medications. There are no home remedies for this situation - this is a life-threatening emergency if the gum contained xylitol. I really hope that everything goes well for Gidget!

If it is a ''gummy'' tablet it may cause gastrointestinal signs such as vomiting or diarrhea. The toxicity from the single components (Vitamins, mineral etc etc) depends on their concentration. Generally speaking it should be a major concern as the concentration is quite low. If there is xylitol inside the tablet that may be dangerous, and in case of ingestion, your dog needs to be seen by a veterinarian. The ingestion of xylitol or xylitol-containing products causes a rapid release of the hormone insulin, causing a sudden decrease in the dog's blood glucose. Signs to look for are: lethargy, vomiting, loss of coordination, collapse, and eventually seizures.

The amount of Vitamin D ingested will likely not put a dog of her weight at risk of serious toxicity. Make sure the gummies do not contain xylitol. That would be more dangerous than the Vitamin D. If they contain xylitol,seek veterinary attention immediately. Xylitol is toxic to dogs. It may cause a dangerous drop in blood sugar levels. If the gummies do not have xylitol, the worst you may see is some minor stomach upset.

Yes this could be life threatening if the Extra was sugar free and contains xylitol. Xylitol is highly toxic to dogs and is fatal without treatment. Because I'm not sure if the Extra Oliver ate contain xylitol, and if you aren't sure either, the best thing to do is rush him into the vet immediately. The vet can treat him for xylitol toxicity if the gum contained it. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Most types of gummy bears should not cause any problems; however, you should check the ingredients to make sure that they don't contain [xylitol](https://www.petcoach.co/article/6-products-that-contain-xylitol/). If they don't, then Bogo should be just fine apart from some mild GI upset such as loose stool for a day or so. If they do contain xylitol, this is a more serious problem because this sweetener is toxic to dogs - so if this is on the ingredient list, I would recommend having him seen by an emergency vet right away so that they can induce vomiting and start treatment to try and prevent any problems.

Yes, taking him to the emergency vet is your best option. If he was a bigger dog that amount of chocolate may not have been harmful but since he is so small it might be causing him an issue. The gummies are not likely toxic if there is no xylitol but it is a lot of sugar.
