Help!
Lollypop was at my un-laws house this afternoon and apparently ingested roughly "10" grapes. My brother in law took her to his vet where (within 1 hour of ingestion) they induced vomiting, gave her charcoal to absorb toxins and put her on an IV fluid regime. I am waiting to hear from my vet to get a second opinion about her condition and whether or not we should take her to the Tufts Cummings Veteranary School where she can get constant fluids for 48 hours. Toxicology results have not come back as there is no lab on site where she is now. We are already in for between 500 and 600 dollars just for today and potentially triple that cost should we take her to Tufts. I think she would be fine and that ten grapes is not enough to cause kidney damage, but I am in no way vet. Would anyone out there know whether we are being too paranoid and over protective? Cost is NOT an issue. I would do anything for Lollypop, but I want to know whether we are being alarmist here. Any advice? BTW it is torture waiting here for my vet to call back.
