The Aussie beagle that ate 1.1kg of jelly snakes

This beagle is so pissed off because she ate 5 to 10% of her body weight in what we’d call gummy bears.   She thought she was so clever for stealing a bag of candy, then her owners took her to the vet to induce barfing.

Xylitol is a sugar substitute that spikes insulin in dogs, and can trigger hypoglycemia.  A few of grams of xylitol is enough to put the dog in the hospital, and that could be just a few gummy bears.

Fortunately, these jelly snakes had no xylitol, so all the vomiting was for nothing.

The Merck Veterinary Manual has actual scientific information.
