Yorkshire Terrier + Xylitol (Sugar-Free Gum/Candy)
NO. Take immediate action.
The verdict
Xylitol is extremely dangerous for dogs, causing a rapid and profound drop in blood sugar (hypoglycemia) due to a massive insulin release. For a small 6lb Yorkshire Terrier, even a tiny amount can be life-threatening as their small body mass makes them highly susceptible to severe and rapid toxicity.
Watch for these signs (next 12 hours)
- Vomiting
- Lethargy or weakness
- Collapse or seizures
Recommended next steps
Given the severe "RED" toxicity and the small size of your 6lb Yorkshire Terrier, immediate emergency veterinary care is absolutely critical. Do not wait for symptoms to appear; contact an emergency vet clinic immediately and transport your dog for urgent assessment and treatment, which will likely include blood sugar monitoring and IV dextrose.
