my dog mickey got a hold to some gum in had in my purse, and like a dummy, i left it open on the floor and she ate like...4 pieces. the trident gum has an ingredient called xylitol, and it's lethal to dogs. it causes liver damage/failure.

so far, she's acting normal. we called the animal poison control and they told us what to do (we had to give her a mixture of yogurt and peroxide to induce vomiting), and we're slowly introducing food and water to her like we were instructed to do.

this is all my fault. i usually keep my purse zipped up, but this morning the garbage men came, and i had to run and get my keys to hepl my mom and i left my purse open. ;_;

we have to take mickey to the vet within 48 hours to get her liver levels checked. i really hope they're good.

although my dad is staying up all night to monitor her, i don't know if i'm going to be able to sleep well tonight.

p.s. i am coming down with something AGAIN. i swear, just two weeks ago i had a really bad cold, and now my throat is sore. wtf. i was sick in december-january too. this isn't good....
