Bichons are lively and need moderate exercise. Without walks they may develop anxiety or depression, reduced appetite, over-grooming, and sleepiness.

What happens if a Bichon eats raisins?
A Bichon eating raisins will show signs of poisoning, because dogs cannot metabolize certain compounds in grapes; even a small amount can damage kidney function and cause vomiting, diarrhea, no urine output, lethargy, and loss of appetite. A large single dose could even be fatal. Therefore, if a Bichon accidentally eats raisins and shows these symptoms, take it to a veterinary clinic promptly for examination and treatment, to prevent the toxin from damaging the kidneys or leading to something more serious.
These are the test results—what could be the cause?
The report shows zero eosinophils (low immunity, little disease resistance), possibly a sample/machine issue. High C-reactive protein signals clear inflammation but not its cause. High blood sugar may be metabolic or from food/IVs before testing. Not eating may reflect inflammation or metabolic issues; more tests needed.
