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.

The moral of the story is that your little Dex is a brat, and should learn not to eat everything he can get his teeth on! You said he also ate your mail? Does he snack on furniture, too?

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*

He would snack on furniture if he got really bored. He's pulled a lot of threads on my sofa, but he's mostly grown out of that now.
