My dog ate a grape 5 days ago. Now has diarrhea. Is it kidney issues?

Hey! Kind of an update from the last time I asked a question here. So it’s been 5 days since my 50lbs dog ate one grape. No symptoms or anything the past 5 days and my vet said when it happened on Friday to monitor him for 72 hours. And he was fine those hours. But just an hour ago he had diarrhea. I’m worried it could be symptoms popping up late. But other than that, he’s still perfectly normal. Do you think it could be kidney issues arising?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Joker. Diarrhea is not a common symptom of kidney disease. It is likely not related to the grape ingestion. Typically a dog with kidney dysfunction will vomit, drink excessive water, refuse food and be lethargic. However, it is best to see his veterinarian for bloodwork so you know for sure and don't have to worry. I hope this information helps!
