My dog ate Life Saver gummies. Should he throw up with epilepsy?

Question

My dog just ate some life saver gummy candies. There's no xylotol in them (which is why gummy bears are so bad) but i don't know if he should be made to throw up? He's not showing any signs of being sick but he also has epilepsy and is on phenobarbital for seizures. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | neutered | 1 year and 9 months old | 8 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If there is no xylitol in them, there is really no risk of a severe toxicity, especially if it was just a few. These are just made of lots of corn syrup which can cause him some gastrointestinal signs such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and/or inappetence. If you do not notice any of that in the next 24 hours, he is likely going to be just fine. If you see any of these signs, have him evaluated by your veterinarian. Good luck and have a good night!
