Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Ziggy. Ideally, you should call your local emergency vet hospital or veterinarian in your area and discuss what has happened. A great resource that many of us use in the profession for potential toxicity cases is the ASPCA. ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center Phone Number: (888) 426-4435 The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) is your best resource for any animal poison-related emergency, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If you think your pet may have ingested a potentially poisonous substance, call (888) 426-4435. A $65 consultation fee may be applied to your credit card. This is the smallest amount of raisin consumption ever documented that caused acute damage to the kidneys. Raisins 0.11 oz/kg Ziggy is 6 lbs or 2.7 kg. 2.7 kg x .11 ozs = 0.3 ounces of raisins for his body weight. However, SMALLER amounts could also cause problems - we really don't know exactly what the minimum dose is. Also, not every dog or cat is susceptible - many animals can tolerate large quantities of grapes or raisins without problems. Nobody knows what the patient risk factors are (other than ingestion). So to be safe, I would contact the above resources. Good luck
