We need to pursue a scientific and balanced diet for dogs. If we only feed dogs simple dog food, it can easily cause malnutrition. We can feed some fruits in an appropriate amount, which will well supplement the vitamins needed by dogs. However, there is one kind of fruit that dogs must not eat, which is grapes. So why can’t dogs eat grapes? Today the editor will talk about it.
1. If parents feed their dogs grapes, their dogs will often become poisoned. In this situation, symptoms of poisoning often appear within six hours. The main symptoms may be depression, vomiting and diarrhea, a significant loss of appetite, and parents may find grape residue in the center of the dog's vomit.
2. This poisoning symptom is similar to those of typical acute enteritis. Therefore, parents must not ignore this situation and treat it as acute enteritis. If time is wasted, the dog's life may not be guaranteed. Because dogs with grape poisoning will develop acute kidney failure within 24 to 72 hours.
3. The symptoms of acute renal failure are common, and will be manifested as less urine, followed by severe dehydration. At this time, the dog will show a special preference for drinking water. If you seek medical examination, you may find that the uremia index in the dog's blood rises sharply. If not treated immediately, the dog will die.
4. Current medicine cannot study why. Dogs may develop severe acute renal failure after eating grapes. Most speculation is that certain substances in grapes may cause serious damage to certain structures in the dog's kidneys.
5. If there is a documented record, if the dog eats grapes, or if the dog eats grapes with a weight of more than 11.5 grams per kilogram of body weight, then there is no comprehensive treatment method.
