UPDATED: Raisins and Grapes are POISONOUS to Dogs!!!!!!
hi all. long time, no post. i just jumped on because i don't want anyone else to be in this position.
larry david stole and ate a small box (1.5oz) of raisins on wednesday night. He was vomiting early thurs morning but seemed better by the time DH left for work (he had drank a little water and kept down a small piece of dry biscuit). When i got home from work he was lethargic and had been, and was still, vomiting. We rushed him into the vet. Apparently grapes and raisins, when eaten in 'large' quantities, have an agent that can cause kidney failure in dogs.
LD is in renal failure and is currently on iv-fluids, iv-anti-nausea meds and iv-anti-biotics. We did some research and of the 10 reported cases to the ASPCA Poison Control in 2002, 5 of those dogs either died or had to be euthanized.
He ate 3x the amount of chocolate w/ the aluminum foil (hershey's kisses) last year and it was nothing compared to this. Yet, we all know chocolate is bad for dogs. I don't know why this isn't more known (had it been, we obviously would have rushed him in Wed night and would probably be in a much better position right now.) So, I wanted to get the word out there.
Please, tell anyone you know with a dog.
And please, keep Larry David in your thoughts 
ETA: here's a link to some info on the toxicity of grapes and raisins when ingested in large quantities by dogs.
UPDATE 10/1: After three loooong days and nights, Larry David is home. He is in the very lucky 50% of dogs this affects and we are incredibly thankful for it. It's still going to be quite some time until he's back to normal but he's here and alive and that's all that matters. Thank you all for all of your support - it meant a lot during a harrowing time.

for Larry David. My mom's dog is also in renal failure from an unknown cause. It's such a harrowing thing to go through. I hope he makes it.
