Dog ate Raisins

[LaurenHW]

Dog ate a package of Raisins. Went to ER Vet and was given Charcoal and an IV. Anything else to do? Will organs like the Kidney's be affected? Going for Blood test tomorrow. Any detoxing needed? Homeopathics?

Should be totally fine.
Depending on size of dog - would not have worried at all. Probably no need for blood tests, in my opinion. @Dr. Jeff may have a different answer.

Oy I'm sorry about your pup's raisin eating.

As Dr. Christina said, the possibility of a reaction to them (not all dogs get sick from raisins) will depend on how big your dog is and how much the pack of raisins weighed. This will help determine the dose that she ate.

If you have Nux vomica, Arsenicum album or Pulsatilla one of these may be indicated (depending on your dog's symptoms since eating the raisins).

If you have a vet homeopath on your vet care team, they can help guide you more specifically.

You may also want to start super hydration by adding 1/4- 1/2 cup of structured water in with each meal. You can make some by soaking 1 tbsp/cup of chia seeds in bottled/distilled water overnight.

Let's see what tomorrow's bloods show. Please follow any guidelines for monitoring and rechecking blood tests that your vet recommends.

Great thank you. All Blood Tests are clear! Yay! Dog is back to normal self. Its a very large 61 pound Golden Retriever. She's drinking tons of water on her own...smart girl!

Apparently she threw up 35 Raisins! What's the amount that is too much or dangerous?
