My dog licked sugar-free pudding with xylitol. What should I do?

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Rolo. Even a small amount can be toxic, xylitol is so deadly to pets. You would see signs of toxicity within 15-30 minutes after ingestion, so watch him for this time. If you don't see any signs after this time, he should be fine. I hope this helps!

If she licked it without swallowing it, it should not be a problem at all as it is just a small quantity. Strict monitoring for any sign of weakness or lethargy, depression, walking drunk acute collapse, vomiting, trembling or tremoring is needed. If you notice any of these signs Please take Xodie to your local vet.

Hi there. Yes, if the mint contained xylitol, this is very concerning as it only takes a very small amount to be toxic - especially in a small dog. I would recommend looking up the brand name of the mint online to check the ingredient list. If xylitol is listed as an ingredient, you need to take her to the vet immediately for treatment.

Xylitol causes hypoglycemia and potentially liver failure. If Arlo May have ingested xylitol in the past 48 hours I’d recommend contacting the Pet Poison Helpline (www.petpoisonhelpline.com). If it’s been more than 48 hours I’d recommend seeing your vet to have them check liver values.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Mimmo. Typically effects of xylitol toxicity are seen within 15-30 minutes of ingestion. If he's ok now, then he's fine but do not give him any more! I hope this helps!

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Colgate can contain a product called xylitol. This causes the blood sugar to drop drastically. If your dog is weak and not moving, please get honey or corn syrup and rub it on her gums right away. You then need to get her into a vet clinic as soon as possible. Large volumes of toothpaste (xylitol) can also cause liver damage. Best of luck with Lili.

Hi, It is hard to say without more specific information about the dose , concentration of the ingested xylitol. In general a dose of 50 milligrams (mg) of xylitol per pound of body weight (which is 100mg/kg) considered toxic. Xylitol will cause rapid release of insulin which causes a rapid and profound decrease in the level of blood sugar (hypoglycemia), an effect that occurs within 10-60 minutes of eating the xylitol. Untreated, this hypoglycemia can be life-threatening. Signs of hypoglycemia may include: vomiting, weakness, lack of coordination, difficulty walking or standing, lethargy, tremors, seizures and coma. If your dog ate toxic amount take him to the vet ASAP, if not yet showing signs induction of vomiting may be done and if there are signs he will need immediate treatment. If you'd like you can post the question again with the amount in the tablet. With melatonin there are some conditions where it is given to dogs again at the right dose. again more information about the dose is crucial here. I also have no information about your dog body weight but small dog will normally treated with 1 mg tablet and medium dog 1.5mg. Hope that's help and you can post again with information needed : weight of the dog, dosage of xylitol and melatonin ingested or ask for a private consult.
