No. Raisins can cause severe kidney damage with as little as 1 or 2 ingested. The exact amount and mechanism is unknown. Ideally, Yellow should be seen by your veterinarian or at the nearest veterinary ER. Either can induce vomiting via injection as long as it has been less than two hours since ingestion. Activated charcoal may be given afterwards to further reduce absorption. Kidney function may need to be monitored until such time when your vet can determine function was not compromised.

    I would take Bruzier in to be safe. The problem with raisins is that the exact amount needed to cause kidney failure isn't known. Whenever a dog ingests any amount of raisins, it's best to take them into the vet to induce vomiting to get them. I hope this helps!

    If you think it is the case you should take Bella to your vet ASAP, vomiting needs to be induced by your vet and it can be done up to 2 hours after ingestion. Raisins can cause acute kidney failure in dogs, which can be fatal.

    Raisins toxicity causes acute kidney failure, straining and diarrhea are not part of the symptoms of this condition but vomiting is. you will need to monitor Stella in the next couple weeks, if she seems lethargic, not eating well, drinking too much or vomiting you will need to take her to the vet to have a blood test done in order to check the condition of her kidneys.
