We used to think our shih tzu was just a sickly dog since she was a puppy mill rescue. She would have occasional episodes where she would vomit and refuse to eat or drink. We'd have to take her in for IV's and meds. One day I discovered the grape connection and found out I had been poisoning that sweet little thing. She never had another bout and has been a pretty healthy little girl for the past 9 years. We have been pressed to keep weight on her and she is only about 11 lbs now at the age of ten but other than her age catching up to her she is healthy. No grapes for my puppies! |
