Hi this is Dr. Mary with Just Answer- Sorbitol and aspartame will just cause a mild upset stomach. It is xylitol that is very toxic for dogs.
Customer
Should I be concerned about any intestinal blockage? When should I worry
The gums should pass. I would give a piece of wheat bread to help it pass. I would only worry if there is vomiting multiple times.
Customer
Okay thank you so much
You are welcome- Do you have any other questions?
