Xylitol can lower the blood sugar sometimes suddenly. This is also true with humans. I liked to chew the gum. Once about lunch time I got a phone call & because it ran long & grabbed a couple pieces of gum. Lunch was delayed and by the time I got off the phone I was shaking due to the sudden drop in my sugar. This is usually not a problem as one often uses it for brushing AFTER eating, etc. With dogs, the sudden drop in glucose can cause a loss of coordination and even seizures. But even worse is there is a strong link between ingesting the xylitol and liver failure in the animal. Not a good thing.
