What should I do if my Teddy dog ​​eats grapes? For dogs that have just eaten grapes or raisins, induce vomiting, gastric lavage and activated charcoal administration (to prevent the absorption of toxins), intravenous infusion for at least 8 hours and blood tests for 72 hours to monitor renal index. If azotemia occurs, intravenous fluid infusion and diuretic administration will be continued until the renal index returns to normal. But even in recovered dogs, the prognosis is very poor, with kidney failure lesions such as oliguria and anuria occurring.

There is still some debate about the poisoning of grapes or raisins in dogs. Some dogs can eat a large amount of grapes or raisins without any problems. However, for the sake of the dog’s health, try not to feed these fruits to dogs. If your dog eats one or two grapes, don’t be too nervous. However, if your dog eats a large bunch of grapes, you should closely observe whether the dog is poisoned.

Symptoms of poisoning caused by grapes often occur within 6 hours, including depression, vomiting and diarrhea, and loss of appetite. There may be grape residue in vomitus or excrement. The typical symptoms are the same as those of acute gastroenteritis. . Most dogs will begin to develop acute renal failure within 24-72 hours. In the early stage, there is no urine production or the urine volume is too small. Dehydration and drinking water are common. At this time, the levels of ca, p and uremia in the blood The index will rise, and dogs complicated by uremia will often die if they are not properly treated with medical treatment. The mechanism of acute renal failure in dogs caused by grapes is not yet clear, but it may be damage to certain structures of the kidneys. There are reports in the literature that if a dog eats more than 11.5 grams of grapes per kilogram of body weight, it may become untreatable. There are also reports that grapes contain quite high levels of glucose and fructose, with grapes exceeding 15% and raisins exceeding 40% or even higher. Dogs are abnormally sensitive to sugars, which may lead to poisoning. APCC also identifies the possibility of poisoning, including: mycotoxins (such as ochratoxin), high levels of vitamin D3 or similar ingredients, pesticide contamination, heavy metals or other toxins in the environment or some unknown toxins inside grapes, etc. factors, the exact cause of the poisoning is still under ongoing research.
