The artificial sugars in some gum can certainly be toxic--we need to know how much gum, and which brand. If you have any major concern and he ate the gum within the last couple of hours, take him to an emergency vet for them to induce vomiting and then you likely won't have to worry about potential toxicity. Good luck!
