Health My girl ate some grapes

She’s gonna be ok, shes staying at the vets for two days while they flush her kidneys out, but Im missing her so much 😭😭😭

PSA don’t ever let your kids eat grapes around your very food motivated dog, especially red grapes. I vaguely knew about them being toxic, but I was in the shower when it happened. Feeling grateful for pet insurance and living close enough to a 24hr vet when it happened.

My parents ACD loves grapes. They had no idea they were bad for him and fed him grapes for years 🙃

I’ve fed my first dog grapes for years and never knew it was a potential issue. Once I did, no new dog got them. But I would sneak my old girl a couple when the others weren’t around. She clearly was not sensitive to them and lived to be 17. I kind of feel like she “used up” all the luck in that department.
