Hello, my name is Dr. Shines and I am happy to help. Chispas is not out of the woods yet but hopefully it's a good sign that she still seems normal. Here is a link about grape toxicity. It can take up to 48 hours for signs to appear (and unfortunately, it generally means damage has already occurred) : https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/grape-raisin-and-currant-poisoning-in-dogs You have two options: The safest route is to have Chispas examined and have some baseline bloodwork to check her kidneys. If the values are normal, she is likely clear and safe. The second option is to continue to monitor. Sensitivity to grapes varies greatly between dogs and you can't know who is sensitive and who's not until they are exposed. If you see any signs of illness, even subtle, have Chispas examined quickly. Fingers crossed Chispas continues to do well!!!!
