My 5-month husky has diarrhea after eating a grape. Is he okay?

Question

My 5 month husky has diarrhea. He had it before but this situation is a little different. Yesterday he ate a grape by accident, I tried to get the grape from his mouth but it was too late. From the afternoon he has poop 3 times and looks very sad and keeps whining. Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | unneutered | 5 months and 5 days old | 35 lbs

The grape ingestion may or may not be related to the current symptoms. In a dog that size, 1 grape should theoretically not cause toxicosis, however, there are dogs that display symptoms after eating very few grapes, so it is not impossible. I recommend being cautious and taking Juno to your veterinarian. They will want to check bloodwork to make sure kidney function does not seem impaired. There are several other possible causes of diarrhea including food intolerance, parasites, viral or bacterial infection, and stress. When you go to your veterinarian, bring a sample of the stool so they can look for parasites. If everything looks okay, you could try a new food with a protein Juno hasn't had before, such as rabbit, venison, or fish. You may also consider adding fiber, which can be done by feeding a couple spoonfuls of canned pumpkin to the meals. Lastly, a probiotic or yogurt can add some healthy bacteria back to the system. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
