My puppy ate a grape. She's acting normal. Is it an emergency?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 3 months old | 10 lbs

My puppy ate half of a red grape about 3 hrs ago. She is acting totally normal but I just saw online that grapes are bad. I really can’t afford taking her to an emergency vet unless it’s absolutely necessary. What should I do?

Unfortunately there is no toxic dosage for grapes and even one can cause very severe side effects. If you cannot take her to your local veterinarian, the only options is to monitor clinical signs and feed her as normally you would do. Possible signs would be increased drinking levels, excessive or no urination at all, vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy and inappetence. Should you notice any of these signs, an immediate check up would be required.
