I'm no expert or anything, so I could be wrong, and I luckily haven't had to worry about this with my boy yet... but I remember reading many times that if you don't have any of the aforementioned products on hand, then you can use corn syrup in an emergency (buys some time to get to the vet). Seeing that corn syrup is the first ingredient in one of those products, this doesn't seem that far-fetched. I heard that you can rub it on their gums or roof of mouth in small amounts.
If this is wrong or there is a better alternative, please correct me! I just thought that I'd add this in case anyone had a problem.
