Grapes??? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Mrs_OMalley · 05-15-2013, 12:44 PM

I hate that this is my first post - but I am worried. My tiniest Yorkie puppy, Bailey, is almost 12 weeks old (on the 25th) and is about 1 lb. My daughter (teen) was carrying her plate to the kitchen and literally ONE half of an uneaten purple grape fell on the floor and Bai beat her to it. He had it down before I could stop him. I know that dogs cannot have grapes, and we rarely even buy them - but the one time we do - well this happens! Is there anything I should be doing? Is he going to be okay?

Until someone else posts, I will tell you to call your vet's office and ask them asap. I'm not sure how much is too much for a 1 lb pup so quicker response will come with a phone call to the vet.

I'm sorry this had to be your first post, too. Please update us ok?

I agree with MandiesMom. Call the vet, tell them what happened and let them tell you what the best approach is.
Keep us updated

Call your vet or the local pet ER.

please tell us what happens!! I hope Bailey is okay!! Good Luck

Mrs_OMalley · 05-15-2013, 01:07 PM

Our vet says that he should be fine with such a small amount ingested and just to watch him for any sort of "unusual" behavior. . . My heart is racing - and I feel so bad. Prayers please for my little boy!

Mrs_OMalley · 05-15-2013, 01:20 PM

The vet told me that I didn't need to bring him in and that he should be fine with the small amount ingested. =( I feel horrible and am still very worried. He is laying in my arms right now, as I type, and seems just fine - and happy to be with Mommie (like always). My heart is racing though. . . gosh I love my babies (all of them) so much!! Thanks for helping and caring!!

Anny Mendoza · 05-15-2013, 01:25 PM

Thank God it isn't bad

I know how you feel, they are a part of our family!

So happy to hear that it will be okay for Bailey.

Now with that said, sweet Yorkie Mommie...Welcome to YT!! Please stick around, share pics and chat it up with us other Yorkie parents who obsess and constantly worry about our babies

I'm so sorry this happened, and that you got so worried. Twenty years ago, I didn't know about the dangers of grapes, and my best friend and I, who had an American Eskimo Dog, gave our little ones frozen grapes and raisins on more than one occasion. I would never do it now, but my Yorkie didn't have any lasting effects that I am aware of. Today I read everything I can, and I thought I did then, too, but now information is much more readily available to us. Welcome to YorkieTalk. There is a wealth of information here, and there are also such warm and compassionate people here who are always willing to lend a hand.

Thank you so much! I was sooo happy to find this site! =) I am trying to figure it all out - and post some pics. I am (as my daughter calls me) a Crazy Dog Lady! =) lol! All three of our babies were rescues from surrendering owners - and Bai is the tiniest one I have been lucky enough to have so things are all new with him. I got Bonzai when he was 3 years old, and Miss Delaynie (Bailey's Mom) is 3 years old also. We have only had Delaynie and Bailey since March so I am getting used to life with 3 babies! Bonzai has been an only puppy for almost 6 years and all things considered he is doing very well with the new doggies! =) Thank you guys again! Lots of Yorkie

to all of you!!
