Today's Daily Dose: The dangers of xylitol

Article

Untitled Document

“It is important to note that hypoglycemia is not present at the time of admission in all patients with suspected hepatic failure secondary to xylitol ingestion. Further caution should be employed in the patient that is euglycemic at presentation after a known toxic ingestion of xylitol, because fulminant hepatic failure may still ensue.”

-Ronald Lyman, DVM, DACVIM, and Pierre Bichsel, DVM, DECVN, DACVIM (neurology)
