Nowadays, many families like to keep dogs, which can make their leisure time more meaningful, but there are some foods that dogs can't touch, so can dogs eat grapes? What are the hazards of dogs eating grapes?
Grapes can cause acute renal failure in dogs. Pet owners often fail to realize the seriousness of this performance, and when they are sent to the hospital, they often miss the rescue opportunity.
Symptoms of poisoning caused by grapes often occur within 6 hours, which are manifested as depression, vomiting and diarrhea, loss of appetite, and grape residue in vomit or excreta. Typical symptoms are the same as acute gastroenteritis. Most dogs will begin to have acute renal failure within 24-72 hours. At the initial stage, there is no urine generation or too little urine. Dehydration and excessive drinking of water are common. At this time, the Ca, P and uremia index in the blood will rise. If the dogs with uremia do not have good medical treatment, they will often die. At present, the mechanism of grape induced acute renal failure in dogs is not very clear, which may be caused by damage to some structures of the kidney. It has been reported that dogs may be incurable if they eat more than 11.5G of grapes per kilogram of body weight.
Your pet doctor reminds you:
1. Never feed your dog grapes, not raisins;
2. Please put away the residue. Don't let the dog eat it;
3. Once the dog is found to have grape poisoning, treat it as soon as possible. Don't think it's enough to take some medicine for acute gastroenteritis, and miss the best time for treatment.
