My dog ate grapes and has high creatinine. Should I be worried?

Question

Hello, My Chihuahua / Rat Terrier mix is 5 y/o and 15lbs. His Creatinine levels were 1.4 on Friday and 1.5 on Sunday. This after ingesting and having an induced emesis of two grapes on Friday. I took him into the ER ASAP. Should I worry? Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua (Smooth Coat) | Male | neutered | 5 years and 8 months old | 15 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If the grapes were brought up in the the vomit, the 1.4 creatinine has likely nothing to do with the grape ingestion. That value on friday is high normal but it depends on the normal ranges for the reference lab used by your Vet. I would repeat his kidney values (get full chemistry with BUN too) with an SDMA (more sensitive for kidney disease than creatinine )and first morning urine mid this week. I would monitor his values. I wish you the best
