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.

Oh no! Nonono!
*hugs*

If my sister (she's an assistant at a vet practice) wasn't still at work I'd call and ask her if she's ever seen a case of dog-ate-raisins and if it's really so dangerous, with treatment and everything. Will do that later and hope she'll tell me that of course it will all be fine, which I will then forward to you.

Dex is young and strong, and you caught it early, so he will make it! *hugs*

I would REALLY APPRECIATE that. ♥

*hugs back*

I do think he's got various things going in his favour - he's young and healthy, and we caught it early, and he puked most of it up... But. Most toxic substance known to dogkind.
