Help , what should I do , Rua climbed up on the chair in the kitchen and ate two grapes off a plate on the table , fruit on the edge of a pavlova .
do I need to get him to a vet ?
Am I worrying unnecessarily .

Saw this:

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]How Many Would Poison Your Dog?
The minimum toxic dose is approximately1 grape per pound of body weight.

15 lb dog = 12-14 grapes could be deadly
25 lb. dog = 23 grapes could be deadly
50 lb. dog = 50+ grapes could be deadly
75 lb. dog = 75 grapes could be deadly

I would make sure you get plenty of water down the little one and take to the vets in the morning for a check up just in case:)
 
I don't want to worry you, but a phone call to your vet at least may be in order just to be on the safe side.

There's an article about this http://www.ukvet.co.uk/ukvet/articles/toxicology - raisins.pdf (hope it's ok to post the link, and that it works!) that seems to suggest that for some dogs it doesn't take much to cause them problems.

You'll probably sleep easier tonight if you check things out.
 
How is Rua? I am sorry I didn't see this earlier. Something you can do to induce vomiting is force your dog to drink (with a syringe) hydrogen peroxide (this was instructed to me by ASPCA poison control when my dog had an overdose of something one time).

Hope all is well.
