KINGS CREEK KENNELS


Hi! This is Erin (my family owns "Dixie" Cullifer) This was passed to me from a friend. Please forward it to anyone who owns a dog (or any other kind of pet...just to be safe) and spread the word!! Thanks! Erin Cullifer
This was interesting and something I never knew. So Those who feed their dogs naturally please read. WARNING!! Beware of excess Raisins and Grapes!! McGee died of a RAISIN OVERDOSE . Three days ago, he ate 18 ounces of raisins which were sitting on the coffee table. He loved raisins, and he would sit politely waiting for his turn while my two rabbits begged for their raisin treats. The overdose caused renal (kidney) failure which in turn caused an unusually high concentration of calcium in his blood. The veterinarian originally suspected rat poison. He vomited repeatedly and by the second day, he could not walk. He died at the Metropolitan Emergency Animal Clinic in Rockville, Maryland with me and one of his other human housemates at his side. MCGEE'S DEATH IS THE FIRST DOCUMENTED CASE OF RAISIN/GRAPE TOXICITY IN MARYLAND. Please help me to spread the word!!!!. As much as veterinarians warn us about chocolate and anti-freeze, your veterinarian MAY NOT KNOW about raisin and grape toxicity. Tell your fellow dog owners (especially those who keep raisins for their rabbits), newsletters, breeders, pet food stores, rescue groups, your veterinarian, and anyone else you can think of. And if your dog eats a lot of raisins or grapes and begins vomiting, get him to the animal hospital IMMEDIATELY, and treat it like as seriously as any other poison overdose. McGee's body has been donated to the National Center for Poison Control for an autopsy. I hope that his sacrifice will help bring awareness to dog owners everywhere. I would like to thank Doctor Carole Foster and Doctor Deborah Weiss and the rest of the staff at the Metropolitan Emergency Animal Clinic for their help and compassion during my friend's last days.
