The webpage for the company I buy my Xylitol has a warning saying it is dangerous to animals. (But I'm not sure of the science behind it all, because Xylitol for humans has a GI of 8. Glucose has a GI of 100. (the scale only goes up to 100) Funny that the lowest Gi item throws them into insulin shock.
I know the Xylitol gets absorbed by itself without needing insulin at all. Perhaps the animal registers the sweet taste, produces all the insulin for the "Sugary Treat" coming in and then all the insulin sits around going "So what do we do now?"
Glad to hear your furry ones are OK. I will never let them eat any of my homemade cookies, cos they have you know what in them too,
