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

How could the vet not know how bad raisins are? See, you're a very good dog owner! You knew more than the vet, in this case, and did the exact right thing! ♥
Take care, okay? And let us know as soon as you have any news. I'll keep thinking of you until I know you've got your little (well, not so little anymore) guy back home with you.

I wanted to jam my fingers down his throat myself, while the staff were fannying about at the desk and not getting immediately on the phone. I think after this I'm going to buy something that'll make him puke if I ever need it again. I could have given it to him before I set off for the vets, and saved 20 minutes. You can buy stuff - I can't remember what it's called, but I know you can. And Labs are the worst for eating anything they can find, so it's probably a good idea.
Really, the moral of this story is that healthy snacks are bad. I should stick to the biscuit barrel!

How frustrating to know the situation was much more pressing than the vet made it out to be... But he's there now, and all raisin-free, and we're all hoping for the best. *hugs*

The moral of the story is that your little Dex is a brat
He really is! ♥ ♥ ♥
