Today is the day Dex can reach the back of the countertop

[tacit]

Dex ate half a kilo of raisins this morning, which are highly toxic to dogs. I got home soon after he ate them - between half an hour and 90 minutes, depending on when he got into them - and though he's asymptomatic I took him to the vets. They've admitted him and are going to pump his stomach, and put him on a drip until Friday at least. I won't know if he'll live until tomorrow. A handful of raisins can cause kidney failure, and he ate half a kilo.

I AM FREAKING OUT. Reassure me?

Fuck, dear flist.

Fuck.

*hopes for the best*

I did not know this. I don't have dogs, which is probably why. You were really quick to act, I'm sure he'll be alright. Best of luck.

Thanks!

Pass the word: raisins = extremely bad! Apparently it's pretty much the worst thing a dog can eat. I'm a little less freaked out now the vets have updated me, but still... I am so *pissed* at myself for not noticing he can reach further back on the counter now. :/
