TXVicky,
Thank you for your reply. I gave him the raisins. I did not know until I researched after the fact.
How can I blame myself? Well 'blame' is a bit harsher than I feel... I don't really blame myself. But I should have known. Do you know what I mean? I should have researched this continually to find out what human foods were toxic to dogs... I was his Mom, his life was in my hands, I took that very seriously...
I don't blame myself, but I do feel that if he died from the raisins, I let him and myself down...
So you mentioned your dog was being treated for a period of time and had similar symptoms near the end.
Tiki was not diagnosed with any kind of Kidney problems. Could he have had them and I not know? How did you know your dog had a problem in the first place?
Tiki ate and drank well every day. He peed several times a day. He tried to pee for our entire long walks each day, but the second half of the walks were more for show I think
He never seemed to have any problems.
The only reason I am thinking he might have had Kidney Failure is because that is how some dogs die after eating raisins.
1. So I am wondering can Kidney Failure be there without me knowing?
2. Can a dog that seems perfectly fine one day, die of Kidney Failure within 26 hours?
Those are the questions I need answered.
Thanks so much for your time.
Big hugs, and sorry about you dog, I know how painful that must have been...
