Xylitol Toxicity
Xylitol, an artificial sweetener
FOUND IN:
• Sugarless gum
• Sugarless candy
• “Low Carb” baked goods
• Children’s vitamins
• Flavored liquid medications
• Human Toothpastes /
Mouthwashes
DANGERS!!!
TOXIC TO DOGS!
• Life-threatening low blood
sugar concentrations.
• Liver toxicity.
Meet “Liza”
A 3 year old Portuguese Water Dog
• “Liza” ate 30 pieces of Ice
Cubes sugarless gum.
• “Liza’s” blood sugar
dropped and had to be
treated with IV fluids,
containing dextrose, for 3
days to bring her blood
glucose back to normal.
Why is Xylitol Toxic?
• The liver is important for
filtering toxins.
• Xylitol produces toxins that
destroy the liver in dogs at
certain concentrations.
Bakerinstitue.vet.cornell.edu
How did IVS protect “Liza’s”
liver?
Denamarin
• “Liza” was prescribed
Denamarin, a liver protectant
drug that promotes liver
health and repair.
• This blocks the liver cells from
the toxins produced by Xylitol,
so they can’t destroy the liver.
Signs to look for:
Low Blood Sugar
• Lethargic
• Disoriented
• Tremors and/or Seizures
Liver Toxicity
• Increased amount of
drinking
• Increased amount of
urination
• Vomiting
• Not Eating
• Yellowing skin / gums
What to do…
If you suspect your pet has eaten…
• Sugarless gum
• Sugarless Candy
• “Low carb” baked goods
• Human toothpaste /
Mouthwash
• Children’s vitamins
• Flavored liquid medications
• Seek immediate medical
attention at your regular
veterinarian or here at IVS.
