1. Sugarless Sweeteners
Xylitol, a sugar substitute, can cause a SEVERE
sudden drop in your pet's blood glucose- this will
lead to signs of insulin overdose and low blood sugar:
staggering, weakness, seizures and even coma.
This sweetener is in Sugar free gum, some baked products
and toothpaste- JUST a few pieces of gum can cause death
in a small dog
2. Fabric Softeners
Both dogs and cats react SERIOUSLY to these. These
are the chemicals that keep clothes from clinging.
Just a small part of a piece of fabric softener can
cause vomiting, muscle twitches, and excessive drooling.
3. Grapes and Raisins
As few as 6 grapes (or equivalent raisin) can cause
some Horrible Side Effects in Your Dog.
The BIG PROBLEM is that this can lead to
Kidney Failure- but it is indiscriminate and we yet
DON'T KNOW what causes this. It may be from some
unknown substance in the skin or it may be from
some chemical spray residue on the grapes.
4. Lilies
A pretty popular flower that many of US have in our
homes and in the garden. There are toxic Easter Lilies,
but alson Tiger Lily, Japanese Show Lily , Stargazer,
and Rubrum.
LILY=TOXIN
It can lead to kidney failure, vomiting, diarrhea,
and heart complications. They are especially toxic
to cats.
