PatricksMom Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Henry got into a pudding with Xilotol last night. By the time we realized what was in it and that he'd gotten it, it had been a couple of hours. He got to the evet, poison control said he had eaten just on the edge of enough to be concerned. He's been on monitoring all night w/IV support, but at 7:30 his blood suger check was low so he's on the sugar drip. His liver level was just at the edge of moderate concern, so he's on the supportive meds for that. I'm waiting for them to call with his next blood sugar level check, but I just checked in and he's doing fine. I feel like the worst mom in the world. I'm changing my own medications and haven't slept more than a few hours in days and can't think straight. I knew Dh brought the wrong product, but I didn't think to tell him to be careful and he didn't realize it could be dangerous. Henry's not Patrick, he hates being at the vet. They keep saying he's perfectly calm but I had to carry him back into the treatment area, he's never going to forgive me for this, he's still mad about last summer when I had to take him to our vet a whole bunch. Please send prayer, good wishes, anything you can. Quote Beth, Petey (8 September 2018- ), and Faith (22 March 2019).

TheFullHouse Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Good thoughts for Henry. Don't worry, I don't think he's going to hold a grudge. Dogs live in the moment and once he gets past this he'll be fine. He knows you love him. Accidents happen.

PatricksMom Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Blood sugar is coming up slowly, which is a good thing, they don't want it to come up to fast. He's resting comfortably but alert, ate his breakfast with gusto. We're going to go to visit as soon as I can get off the floor. If things go well, they'll start to wean him off the sugar drip around 5pm, and he'll stay the night. His liver levels were so near okay there's no point in reachecking until Monday afternoon or Tuesday, but they'll keep him on the medication just in case.

Guest chickenpotpie Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Good thoughts to you all! I've seen xylitol in stuff that doesn't even need it, up to and including things that have sugar in it already! I got to the point of where I read labels of everything because you can't be too careful anymore. I hope he continues to make good progress!

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatricksMom Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 DH just got back from the evet. He's doing well, his gluscose levels didn't get very low and stablilized quickly, so he's back off that. They are taking him off IV fluids. If he tests keeps testing okay, he should be ready to come home at 10pm. We may decide to leave him there for the night, since we are 45 minutes away and I don't want to risk something happening overnight. They said there's no point in retesting the liver values for a couple of days, they weren't that elevated so they don't expect to see them come down probably for a week, so we're keeping him on the support meds until his vet okays taking him off. Somehow our message that he chatters his teeth didn't transfer over night, so when DH got there they were trying to figure out what if he was cold, until he started going crazy when he saw DH, he's my little chatterbox. Thanks for the good wishes. Quote Beth, Petey (8 September 2018- ), and Faith (22 March 2019).
