Guest BlackandBrindle Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 but the dogs got into the pantry while we were gone and they ate some trail mix that had raisins in it. It was probably about a third of the bag and they ate it last night. We discovered the empty bag this morning. What do I need to do or watch for? They are both eating/drinking fine, no lethargy, no labored breathing or other signs of renal failure... but everything I read is making me more and more scared...

Batmom Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 You could ask your vet but chances are good they'll be fine. Drinking more and peeing more, beyond a day or so, would be cause to go get a blood test.

Guest BlackandBrindle Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Thank you. We're watching them closely for the next 24 hours and any signs of distress and we'll go to the vet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Just to make you feel a little better, some years back my parents' 40-lb whippet ate AN ENTIRE HUGE PLATEFUL of grapes and suffered no ill effects.

Guest MomofSweetPotatoes Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Well, if it's been over 12 hours, the stuff in the raisins is in their bloodstream by now since the digestive process of a dog avereages between 6 and 10 hours. Just watch for signs of distress, but if it's a 10 ounce bag of trail mix, and only 3 ounces were left, I would doubt there would be much more than 1 ounce of raisins left.

Guest BooMooandDoo Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Don't freak out. . . .they should be okay. I have to admit I used to give Tucker the raisins out of my trail mix. . .. before I knew any better. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlackandBrindle Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Well as of about twenty four hours after it happened, they are both doing fine with no ill effects so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tiegra Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Sunny did this to me a while back. Like you I was freaking out. The only bad thing that came from it was what came out the exit. Those were the worst looking and smelling poops I have seen. Hope they are okay. You have my sympathy. Dani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackandgrey Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Jilly did this once. Helped herself to some trailmix. She was fine just the raisin peanut poop logs were a little off putting.

Guest charmsmom Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 You can also call Animal Poison Control. It's run by the ASPCA. There is an initial $55 charge for a consult, but if you have to call a second time, they don't charge you. It's great peace of mind and they tell you what symptoms to look for and if you should be worried. I had to call them after DH left out a Chocolate Slim-fast shake! 1-888-426-4425 is the number. They assign you a case number and give you a direct line (toll-free) so if you DO have to call back, you can get through quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeofNE Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I realize that recently there has been a lot of news about raisins being "toxic," but my father has fed raisins (and grapes!) to every dog we've ever had for his 77+ years of dog ownership--and not one of them has ever had any kind of reaction! I am sure that if a dog ate a big box of raisins they might well get sick, but they never bothered any of our dogs in moderation. We no longer give the dogs raisins, but please don't freak out!

Guest BlackandBrindle Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Well both pups are fine, although I honestly think Sadie got the bulk of it... her poops at least were the ones filled with peanuts I would not have freaked so much had I been able to find specific information about breed/weight and amount of raisins ingested... But again, they are both fine, just their happy mellow selves Thanks for everyone's concern Oh, and I have the number for the ASPCA Poison hotline on the fridge after JillysfullHouse posted about it last year. Very good thing to have I agree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
