VerifiedHello, welcome to JustAnswer. My name is***** will be happy to help you. I am sorry to hear that Harper ingested this gum. This toxicity can be very concerning. If it is an hour's drive before you can get her to the vet, I would induce vomiting first because you may see signs of low blood sugar as soon as 30 minutes after ingestion. For a 55 lb dog, I would use 60 ml (4 tablespoons or 2 ounces) of 3% hydrogen peroxide given orally. Do this now, then get to the ER vet for follow-up care with activated charcoal and baseline blood work to check the liver out. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
