My dog ate about 5 or 6 grapes, then vomited a dozen times and is now listless
If a dog vomits after eating grapes, take it to a vet promptly. Grapes are quite toxic to dogs and can cause acute kidney failure. Vomiting lowers the risk but a check-up is still advised; if creatinine and BUN are high and the dog is weak, hemodialysis may be needed.
My 4-month-old Corgi ate half an ibuprofen capsule—will it be harmed?
Eating half an ibuprofen capsule usually harms a dog, as dogs lack the natural enzymes to metabolize such drugs. Even a small piece can cause severe gastric ulcers and even acute kidney failure leading to death.
What flowers are harmful to cats?
Common cat-harmful flowers include tulip, hydrangea, lily, daffodil, daisy, azalea, and amaryllis.

Choose flower types carefully if you have a cat.

Why can’t dogs eat chocolate?
Chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine, which are toxic to dogs and can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and even acute kidney failure. All foods with these compounds must be avoided.
My cat’s urine was pink at first, then it barely ate and had no stool; after amoxicillin the pink stopped but it keeps straining with only a little yellow urine, hides under the table, sleeps deeply, and vomited up what I fed—what is going on?
From your description the cat likely has a urinary tract disease. Straining with only a little urine, vomiting, frequent litter-box squatting, dribbling, and a full bladder suggest a blockage causing blood in urine and urinary retention. Long retention leads to toxin buildup and acute kidney failure with vomiting—usually male cats from cystitis, crystals, or bacteria. Rush to a vet for catheterization.
How long can a Teddy with urinary stones live?
With timely treatment, urinary stones are usually curable and do not affect lifespan; mild cases pass stones by flushing and acidifying urine plus water. Severe blockage causing acute kidney failure can kill within days, so treat promptly.
My dog ate some grape skins I threw away days ago; they were dried; is it in danger?
