Meet Leo! 🐾
Leo recently paid us an unexpected visit after helping himself to 2 POUNDS of raisins! 😳 That’s quite the snack, but unfortunately, one that required an emergency trip to the clinic!
Did you know that raisins and grapes are toxic to dogs? Even small amounts can cause serious kidney damage and, in some cases, acute kidney failure. The tricky part? There is no known safe amount, and every dog can react differently.
What should you do if your dog eats grapes or raisins?
- Don’t wait for symptoms to appear!
- Contact your veterinarian immediately.
- Do not attempt to induce vomiting unless instructed by a veterinary professional.
- Seek veterinary care as soon as possible. Early intervention is key!
Signs of toxicity can include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, decreased appetite, increased thirst, and changes in urination.
The takeaway? Keep grapes, raisins, and foods containing them far out of your dog’s reach!
We’re always happy to help keep our furry patients safe. ❤️
