I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I can understand how you feel and how very hurt you are. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
I am adding my opinion about the raisins. I do think they had a huge amount to do with your baby's death. A few years ago and before I knew that dogs could not have grapes/raisins I would give my shih tzu one or two occasionally. I never connected that the day after she would be listless and uncommunicative. When she was taken to the vet she would require an iv to rehydrate her. After a day or so she was back to normal. The vet would ask if she had gotten into anything and I would always answer no. We agreed that since she was a puppymill rescue she was probably just a sickly little dog. We have always battled keeping weight on her. Well once I heard about the grapes and stopped giving them to her we never had another episode.
I'm telling you this because Cassie was always at least 11 lbs and sometimes 12 and just a couple of grapes would make her seriously ill.
That is quite a bit more than 7 lbs.
Don't beat yourself up because you didn't know. And thank you for sharing your story. People will learn from this because of your post.
