Ég þekki borzoi-hundaræktanda í n-ameríku og hún
var að senda mér póst sem hún fékk sendann frá borzoi
póstlista úti. Í honum er varað við því að gefa hundum
vínber og rúsínur.
Hér er greinin;

Dear friends,
The ASPCA-run Animal Poison Control Center is working hard
to get the word out to people that raisins and grapes are
both considered toxic to dogs now. This is a relatively
recent revelation, one that is painfully close to my heart
since I personally had a healthy, young 70-lb male Irish
setter die of complete kidney failure within 24 hours of
eating raisins (he ate a 14 oz box he snuck out of my grocery bag).
I just got off the phone with them, providing them what
data I could for their database and they were very grateful
and were wonderful to work with. They asked me to do two
things, which I ask your help with as well:
1. Tell everyone in our classes about this!! Many of us
have used grapes as treats for our dogs. This is now known
to be dangerous.
2. (stytti þarna um símanúmer erlendis og blablabla)
Please, bring this up with your classes. The control center
is in the early stages of studying this and doesn't know WHY
it happens, if it's specific to a certain amount of the food,
if some breeds are more susceptible than others, etc.
Kidney failure is the common result, and they have had the
opportunity to study the specific kind and areas of renal
failure in some of the victims.
Meanwhile, it's easily preventible, so let's prevent it.
Thanks for spreading the word.
