Re: Xylitol harmful to Dogs
Sorry I didn't have time to give an update yesterday. She came home about 10 o'clock Wed. Evening. The doctor would have preferred that I leave her there for another night, but I was confident I could keep an eye on her close enough to handle any problems she may have encountered.
Prior to leaving the emergency hospital she was on 2.5% dextrose. Her glucose levels at 10 am Wed. was 75. At 6:00 pm it had raised slightly to 79. (77-110 is normal) and a puppy her age and energy level, the doctor said she should be closer to 100. by 9 pm just before I picked her up she was at 90, still on the dextrose. Her liver came back normal...which was good.
Overnight I woke her up every couple hours, took her outside for a short walk and gave her a snack. I could tell her blood sugar was low. By morning she was better. I took her into work with me Thursday. The OYM staff and Sela had a great time.
She is sleeping comfortably near my feet right now. Tomorrow she goes to our regular vet for a recheck, just to be sure she has leveled out.
Looks like the only permanent injury was the hit my pocket book took paying the 26 hour vet care. I am certainly going to look into pet insurance for her, since she seems to fancy visiting the emergency vet hospital.
