Go to Google and type “artificial sweetener toxicity for
dogs,” and you will see numerous links.
I found a very interesting article on the ASPCA website:
www.aspcapro.org/mydocuments/ze-vetm0207f_095-100_.pdf
The article is from the December 2006 issue of Veterinary
Medicine magazine. As a result, it
is pretty technical in spots. However, it
is worth the read. I knew ingestion of
the sweetener was bad; I did not know it was THAT bad. According to the article, dogs can have
life-threatening liver disease and other horrible side effects from eating
anything that contains Xylitol.
Look around your house and read the labels of things within
reach of your baby. Be sure to look at
everything, because xylitol can even pop up in oral care products. Then, secure all those products from curious
noses. Good luck!
