Leanna's Bored No More Pet Sitting

Get to watch this cutie this week. He’s a new client Caesar

We learned a heartbreaking and expensive lesson this week. One that I feel would be beneficial to share. Aspen was packing her lunch for school, putting grapes ...in a bag, when ONE grape fell on the floor. Before she could even react, our dog had snatched the grape. We tried to get it out of his mouth, but he had already swallowed it. I knew dogs were not supposed to have grapes, but I did not know the extent of why. I honestly assumed they were a choking hazard. I quickly learned that grapes are incredibly toxic to dogs, of all sizes and breeds. A single grape can be deadly to any dog. This toxin causes acute kidney failure. My previous rescue experience came in handy, and I knew to induce vomiting immediately (which is not typically recommended at home). He vomited within 10 minutes of ingestion. I then called the Pet ER who advised me to get him there as quickly as possible. Upon arrival, they gave him an injection to again induce vomiting. However, we were unsure if all of the grape or toxin was out of his system. Due to this, their recommendation was IV therapy and bloodwork, to monitor his renal function, for the next 48 hours. Our story has a happy ending and Olaf is now home, resting comfortably. The broken heart in this photo is something I hope to never see again. This was a hard life lesson for my sweet 8 year old. One that could have easily been avoided if I had only known the risk. Please know how deadly grapes (this includes raisins) can be to your fur baby and act quickly if a possible toxin has been ingested. Our quick response likely saved his life. See more
