<P>wanted to share this incase some dont know <BR>No more graped or
raisins!<BR><BR>Checked out on Snopes- Grapes and raisins are very toxic to
dogs.<BR><BR><A
href="http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/raisins.asp">http://www.snopes.<WBR>com/critters/<WBR>crusader/<WBR>raisins.asp</A><BR><BR>Written
by:<BR>Laurinda Morris, DVM<BR>Danville Veterinary Clinic<BR>Danville ,
Ohio<BR><BR>This week I had the first case in history of raisin toxicity ever
seen<BR>at<BR>MedVet. My patient was a 56-pound, 5 yr old male neutered lab mix
that<BR>ate<BR>half a canister of raisins sometime between 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM
on<BR>Tuesday.<BR>He started with vomiting, diarrhea and shaking about 1AM on
Wednesday<BR>but<BR>the owner didn't call my emergency service until
7AM.<BR><BR>I had heard somewhere about raisins AND grapes causing acute
Renal<BR>failure but hadn't seen any formal paper on the subject. We had
her<BR>bring the dog in immediately. In the meantime, I called the ER
service<BR>at MedVet, and the doctor there was like me - had heard something
about<BR>it, but.... Anyway, we contacted the ASPCA National Animal
Poison<BR>Control Center and they said to give I V fluids at 1 1/2
times<BR>maintenance and watch the kidney values for the next 48-72
hours.<BR><BR>The dog's BUN (blood urea nitrogen level) was already at 32
(normal<BR>less than 27) and creatinine over 5 ( 1.9 is the high end of
normal).<BR>Both are monitors of kidney function in the bloodstream. We placed
an<BR>IV catheter and started the fluids. Rechecked the renal values at 5
PM<BR>and the BUN was over 40 and creatinine over 7 with no urine
production<BR>after a liter of fluids.<BR><BR>At the e point I felt the dog was
in acute renal failure and sent him<BR>on to MedVet for a urinary catheter to
monitor urine output overnight<BR>as well as overnight care. He started vomiting
again overnight at<BR>MedVet and his renal values have continued to increase
daily He<BR>produced urine when given lasix as a<BR>diuretic. He was on 3
different anti-vomiting medications and they<BR>still couldn't control his
vomiting. Today his urine output decreased<BR>again, his BUN was over 120, his
creatinine was at 10, his phosphorus<BR>was very elevated and his blood
pressure, which had been staying around<BR>150, skyrocketed to<BR>220.. He
continued to vomit and the owners elected to euthanize.<BR><BR>Please alert
everyone you know who has a dog of this very serious risk.<BR>Poison control
said as few as 7 raisins or grapes could be toxic. Many<BR>people I know give
their dogs grapes or raisins as treats including our<BR>ex-handler's. Any
exposure should give rise to immediate concern. Even<BR>if you don't have a dog,
you might have friends who do. This is worth<BR>passing on to
them.<BR><BR>[Non-text portions of this message have been
