| Tricksie got a grape I have to fix my husband's monkey food every morning and as I was putting grapes on the plate, dropped one and Tricksie zipped in and got it, , I was freaking, kept watching her, just knew that she had eaten it, she jumped on the sofa and I pried her mouth open and she still had it in there, had an awful time getting it out. Guess the reason she didn't chew it was the texture was strange to her.

| I hope shes doing fine. I would have ran to vet, I'm scared of anything that could be toxic. I'm not sure which part of the grape is toxic, but lets hope she didn't get it inside her.

| Wow that was close. Glad you got it from her mouth before she swollowed it. The exact thing happened to Buddy Mon night. My granddaughter was sitting at the island eating cut up grapes and dropped one. I ran and got it out of his mouth before he had a chance to swollow his. It's so stressful when your preparing or eating something they can't have. Always on watch If it's not the kids it's the dog. |

| Baxter ate one last week and suffered no adverse reactions thank goodness. If it hits the floor - it is his. |

| Just a little tip for next time... try practising the "off" or "leave it" command. Your voice is faster than your body, and hopefully faster than your dog! Layla used to always grab stuff I dropped too, but she's been great lately since she learned this command (thank goodness for puppy class!). I practise it CONSTANTLY. When I'm in the kitchen cooking, or doing dishes, or whatever, I take a little bag of cut-up carrots, or treats, or anything that she actually CAN have (just in case!) and every so often I'll drop one. I tell her "OFF" and if she stays away, she gets a treat

| This is from Are Grapes and Raisins Really Toxic? The amount of grapes or raisins ingested has been between a few ounces and 2 pounds, and dogs ingesting these large amounts have developed kidney failure. Aggressive and sometimes prolonged treatment may be necessary to give the affected dog a chance at survival; without treatment death is possible. Despite testing, the reason for the kidney failure and the amount necessary for toxicity remains unknown. For now, any dog that ingests large amounts of grapes or raisins should be treated aggressively, so contact your veterinarian immediately if ingestion has occurred. All cases of grape or raisin ingestion should be considered potentially serious. Signs may include lethargy, increased thirst and diarrhea progressing to more severe signs including lack of appetite, vomiting, depression, increased urinations, and abdominal discomfort. These signs generally can start within a few hours and progress over 24 to 48 hours. For more information on the diagnosis and treatment of this disease, go to Grape and Raisin Toxicosis.

| There's a lot of foods that can hurt them, search the websites for the answers. Think we all know chocolate is a big no, onions make them anemic, etc. worth looking up and keep handy list printed.

It is best to give none and if you are concerned, you can run blood work. That said, I fed them before I didn't know they were bad and Ellie's kidneys are fine.

| From everything that I have read, I would never give them grapes or raisens.
