Warning: Xylitol toxic to dogs (and pigs?)

Warning to all dog owners . . . pass this on to your dog-loving friends and family.

Only 3 grams of Xylitol (found in sugar free chewing gum) is enough to kill a 65 lb dog. And QUICKLY!!!!! Please pass this warning on to everyone you know who has dogs. It may just save a life.

Daisy was the inspiration for this blog, which was started to document her progress after arriving at our farm in May 2007. At the time, she weighed 275 lbs, had badly overgrown feet, and was not able to walk without difficulty.
In her seven months with us, Daisy lost 75 lbs, and was enjoying new-found mobility.

Following a sudden, severe illness, Daisy was euthanized Sunday, December 23, 2007. Post-mortem revealed septicaemia of unknown origin.

Many thanks to all who supported us on her journey ...
