I have a 35 lb beagle. She ate what appeared to be a chewed up piece of gum stuck to the sidewalk about an hour ago. Is this is a situation where the after hours vet should be called?

Thanks. I am in a small town & have no emergency vets anywhere close, only option is to call one at home. In the meantime I have read about amounts of xylitol that are toxic for a dog this size & most likely she would need to eat more than one piece (especially chewed up as much of xylitol should be gone). I will call my vet in the morning. I appreciate the advice, just difficult to follow in these specific circumstances.
Chewing gum is really dangerous for pets. If it were me I would go to the emergency vet right away.

going to agree 100% with Diedra. because you don’t know if this gum had xylitol (which is toxic) in it, best to get to the vet NOW.
