Thank you so much for your expert advice. There’s so much hysteria around grapes and raisins with dogs and it’s reassuring to know that one grape will unlikely kill my healthy, sturdy 16kg Frenchie.
Thanks Dr Alex for helping all the pet parents that is extremely good advice. I hope you and your family are having a good vacation and I hope the new years brings nothing but the best for you and I hope you get many more subscribers 😊.
My dog ate half a grape 4 hrs ago and he is fine....he is 8.5kg and he had a grape when he was 3-4months old and was fine afterwards....i watched all your videos on this topic and used the calculator ...your videos really helped and calmed me down.
Thank you thank you thank you. I was unsure if my pup just ate a grape (I didn’t see it drop but he sniffed at the floor and when he looked back up at me he licked his lips while I was plating chicken, grapes and Brussels sprouts). Hes a 35 pound pitt bull/lab/chihuahua mix i lovingly call my little vacuum/stomach of steel because of how much trouble he likes to get into. It makes me feel good knowing that one on accident won’t hurt him. I can rest easier. And of course, I will still monitor.
I wonder if you could use baking soda to neutralise the tartaric acid? And where you said 'recent suggestions' it's the tartaric acid, it's still not evedince right? My 3 year old 11kg dog ate some sultanas discarded out of someone's cake or something in the park yesterday. I ended up not making her vomit but gave her a large teaspoon of activated charcoal within 30min and 2 more times in the last 24hrs. After watching a few videos now on the subject I'm definitely buying some hydrogen peroxide 3% to keep in the fridge in case of an emergency. She seems fine after 24 hrs and was showing none of the toxicity symptoms. Still, there could be slight kidney damage that might have a long term effect and I wouldn't even know. Really wish I'd taught her not eat anything off of the ground unless I say it's ok. She has such a good nose and seems to find little morsels everywhere. I still might be able to train her but it would be a lot of work I would think. She is my first dog.
If they say don’t do it, it usually means do it. My dog loves grapes (all accidental feeding of course), but I err on the side of caution until I positively know for sure if it’s detrimental. As far as the acidic level, I’ve found that the deeper purple a grape is, the less acidic and sour it is. I literally eat grapes 5-6 days a week. It’s my fave sweet snack.
A few days ago our 28kg dog ate a single grape he found in the driveway near to our bin. Within 10 minutes I walked him via the vet he is registered with who explained that even 1 grape can cause kidney damage. Her explanation led me to decide to agree to leave him for them to make him sick. 1 hour later I was £224 less well off but at least we had some confidence that he was unlikely to incur kidney damage. After watching this video I feel our vet was possibly overcautious.
@@bdr200 I'm at the vet now holding my Chihuahua who ate a couple grapes. They made him throw up and he's got an IV now. No idea if this is an overreaction or not, but he's got great pet insurance so I'll only have to pay 20% 😂😂😂
4 month old collie/mastiff, first new pup had one grape.. i didn't know :( will she be ok I did the calculator and that says she should be.. so worried she is precious already
