[nagdu] help! Adrian ate grapes

[Julie J.]

Yes, grapes and raisins are poisonous to dogs.  It isn't exactly understood 
if it is the grapes, the seeds or a particular type of grape.  Some dogs 
seem to be able to tolerate more than other dogs.  Some dogs don't seem to 
be affected at all.  I have read accounts of small dogs becoming ill with 
only 20 grapes.  Larger dogs can tolerate larger amounts.  It is also 
thought that
the effect increases cumulatively, so even if the grapes were ingested 
months apart the effect is the same as if they were eaten all at once.

but like I said the actual component of grapes that causes the problem isn't 
known.  Or at least at my last reading about it it wasn't known.
