Grapes, Nuts, and Your Dogs Health -- Foods that Fido should Avoid Druer, nødder, og Din Hund Sundhed - Fødevarer, at Fido bør undgå

"Magoo was a big, playful Labrador retriever who often got himself into sticky situations..." "Magoo var en stor, legesyge Labrador Retriever, der ofte kom selv ind i klæbrig situationer ..."

So begins a story in the latest report from the ASPCA on foods that may be toxic to dogs. Så begynder en historie i den seneste rapport fra ASPCA på fødevarer, som kan være giftigt for hunde. It turns out that Magoo got into the pantry and snagged himself about a pound of raisins. Det viser sig, at Magoo fik i pantry samt snagged selv om et halvt kilo rosiner. He ate the whole thing, of course. Han spiste det hele, selvfølgelig.

The ASPCA never mentions Magoo's fate. Den ASPCA aldrig nævner Magoo's skæbne. But they do tell us that as little as a handful of raisins can impair a dogs health and has been fatal for some. Men de fortæller os, at så lidt, som en håndfuld rosiner kan forringe en hunde og sundhed har været fatal for nogle. Ditto for the grape. Do for drue.

Who Knew? Hvem kendte?

Growing up, I regarded our family dogs as "the first cycle of the dishwasher". Vokser op, betragter jeg vores familie hunde som "den første etape af opvaskemaskinen". They were good about waiting their turn for whatever we left on our plates, and we weren't too concerned about offering them "people food". De var gode om at afvente deres tur til, hvad vi tilbage på vores plader, og vi var ikke alt for bekymrede over at tilbyde dem "folk fødevarer". It never crossed our minds that our dogs health could be affected by a few measly table scraps. Det aldrig passeret vores sind, at vores hunde sundhed kan blive påvirket af et par elendig tabellen scraps. What was safe for us, we figured, was safe for our pets. Hvad var sikkert for os, vi regnede med, var sikkert for vores kæledyr.

What's more, whenever I ate grapes, I liked to give one or two to our German Shepherd "Tiffany". Hvad mere er, når jeg spiste druer, jeg kan lide at give en eller to til vores tyske Shepherd "Tiffany". The grapes always popped out of her mouth when she tried to bite into them and Tiffany, ever the good sport, refused to give up until she'd squashed each one into submission. Druerne altid smuttede ud af hendes mund, da hun forsøgte at bide i dem og Tiffany, nogensinde god sport, nægtede at give op, indtil hun havde smadret hver en til indsendelse. It guaranteed at least 60 seconds of harmless fun. Det garanteres mindst 60 sekunder af harmløs sjov.

Tiffany was also fond of chewing gum (she chewed it -- wrapper and all -- but didn't swallow it!) We had the sugarless kind, which is often sweetened these days with xylitol. Tiffany var også glad for tyggegummi (hun tygges det - indpakning og alle - men ikke sluge det!) Vi havde sugarless slags, som ofte er sødet disse dage med xylitol.

Little did I know that I might have been poisoning our family pet! Little gjorde jeg ved, at jeg kunne have været forgiftning vores familie kæledyr! (More on xylitol below). (Mere om xylitol nedenfor).

Why are grapes harmful? Hvorfor druerne er skadeligt?

As far as grapes and raisins go, no one is sure why they're harmful. For så vidt angår druer og rosiner gå, ingen er sikker på, hvorfor de er skadelige. It's been confirmed that even grapes grown without fertilizers or pesticides can be toxic to dogs. Det er blevet bekræftet, at selv druerne er dyrket uden gødning eller pesticider kan være giftigt for hunde. But not to every dog, and not every time. Men ikke for hver hund, og ikke hver gang. It's also not known whether small amounts eaten over a long time period could have a cumulative effect. Det er også uvist, om små beløb, der spises over en lang periode kunne have en kumulativ virkning.

What we do know is that the end result in nearly all reported cases of grape or raisin toxicity is acute kidney failure. Hvad vi ved er, at slutresultatet i næsten alle rapporterede tilfælde af druer eller rosin toksicitet er akut nyresvigt. (The term "acute" means that the condition is severe and comes on quickly.) The dog ultimately can't produce urine, which means they can't filter toxins out of their systems -- a process essential to life. (Udtrykket "akut" betyder, at tilstanden er alvorlig og kommer hurtigt.) Hunden i sidste ende ikke kan producere urin, hvilket betyder, at de ikke kan filtrere toksiner ud af deres systemer - en proces afgørende for liv.

During the twelve-month period in which the effects of grapes were studied, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center handled 140 cases involving one or more dogs. I løbet af de tolv-måneders periode, hvor virkningerne af druer blev undersøgt, det ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center behandlet 140 sager, der involverer en eller flere hunde. Over a third of the dogs developed symptoms ranging from vomiting to kidney failure, and seven dogs died. Over en tredjedel af hunde udviklet symptomer, der spænder fra opkastning til nyresvigt, og syv hunde døde. The ASPCA based their study on reported cases, so naturally there may be cases where a dogs health is entirely unaffected by eating grapes. Den ASPCA baseret deres undersøgelse af rapporterede tilfælde, så naturligvis kan der være tilfælde, hvor en hunde sundhed er helt upåvirket af at spise druer. But until they know all the facts, the Society advises against feeding pets grapes or raisins in any amount .

An ounce of prevention En ounce af forebyggelse

So, your dog just scored himself a big box of raisins. Så din hund lige scoret sig en stor kasse med rosiner. What's a pet owner to do? Hvad er en PET-ejeren til at gøre?

The first line of defense, if the grapes or raisins were eaten recently, is to induce vomiting and administer activated charcoal (it absorbs toxins in the GI tract). Den første linje i forsvaret, hvis druer eller rosiner blev spist for nylig, er at fremprovokere opkastning og administrere aktivt kul (det absorberer toksiner i GI luftvejene). Vomiting is also the first sign that your dog is in trouble, so skip right to the activated charcoal if vomiting has already occurred. Opkastning er også det første tegn på, at din hund er i knibe, så hoppe direkte til aktivt kul, hvis opkastning har allerede fundet sted. (In a pinch you can make your own activated charcoal by charring a piece of toast until it's blackened and crumbles easily.) Then call your vet right away. (I en knivspids du kan foretage din egen aktivt kul ved forkulning, et stykke toast, indtil det sorte og crumbles let.) Så ringe til din dyrlæge med det samme.

Can't reach the vet? Kan ikke nå vet? Call ASPCA Poison Control: 888-426-4435 Ring ASPCA Poison Control: 888-426-4435

The vet will keep your dog on intravenous fluids for at least 48 hours and monitor blood chemistry daily. Dyrlægen vil holde din hund på intravenøse væsker i mindst 48 timer og monitorere kemi dagligt. Normal blood work after 3 days usually means your dog is in the clear. Normal blod arbejde efter 3 dage normalt betyder, at din hund er i klar.

Keeping a watchful eye out, of course, is the best way to keep your pet out of trouble. Holde et vågent øje ud, naturligvis er den bedste måde at holde dit kæledyr ud af problemer. Like children, dogs (and other pets) have a knack for getting into mischief when we're not looking. Ligesom børn, hunde (og andre kæledyr) har en evne til at komme til skade, når vi ikke ser.

It's Not Just the Grapes... Det er ikke kun de druer ...

There are other foods your dog should be kept away from, and some of them may surprise you. Der er andre fødevarer din hund bør holdes væk fra, og nogle af dem kan overraske dig.

Here are some other foods that can put a dogs health in harms way: Her er nogle andre fødevarer, der kan sætte en hunde sundhed i skader måde:

Chocolate Chokolade

Who can resist chocolate? Hvem kan modstå chokolade? Like it your not, your dog.Chocolate is made with cocoa beans and cocoa beans contain a chemical called Theobromine, which is toxic to dogs. Ligesom det ikke er din, dit dog.Chocolate er gjort med kakaobønner og kakaobønner indeholder et kemikalie, kaldet Theobromin, som er giftigt for hunde. So on Valentine's Day, you're actually being kind to your best buddy if you eat all the chocolates yourself!Read my special report on chocolate at http://www.great-dog-gift.com/chocolate to learn more, and see how different types of chocolate have varying effects on dogs health. Så på Valentine's Day, er du faktisk naturalier til din bedste ven, hvis du spiser alle chokolader dig selv! Læs min særlige rapport om chokolade på http://www.great-dog-gift.com/chocolate at lære mere, og se, hvordan forskellige typer af chokolade har forskellige virkninger på hunde sundhed.

Cocoa Mulch Kakao Mulch

Cocoa bean shells are a by-product of chocolate production (which is how mulch made it into the "foods" category) and are popular as mulch for landscaping. Kakao bønner tankene er et biprodukt af chokolade produktion (som er hvordan mulch gjort det til "fødevarer" kategori) og er populære som mulch for landskabsarkitektur. Homeowners like the attractive color and scent, and the fact that the mulch breaks down into an organic fertilizer. Husejere ligesom attraktive farve og duft, og det faktum, at mulch opdeles i en organisk gødning. However, some dogs like to eat it and it contains Theobromine. Men nogle hunde kan lide at spise det, og det indeholder Theobromin.

Fatty foods Fed mad

Fatty foods are hard for a dog to digest and can can overtax the pancreas, leading to pancreatitis. Fedtholdige fødevarer er svært for en hund til at fordøje og kan kan overtax bugspytkirtlen, der fører til betændelse i bugspytkirtlen. This can threaten your dogs health and is potentially fatal. Dette kan true din hunde og sundhed er potentielt dødelige.

Nuts Nødder

Macadamia nuts should be avoided. Queenslandnødder bør undgås. In fact most nuts are not good for a dogs health since their high phosporus content is said to lead to bladder stones. Faktisk de fleste nødder er ikke godt for en hunde sundhed, fordi deres høje phosporus indhold siges at føre til blæresten.

Mulch Mulch

Mulch isn't food, but there's one type tempting enough for dogs to eat. Mulch er ikke mad, men er der en type fristende nok for hunde at spise. Some dogs are attracted to cocoa mulch, and will eat it in varying quantities. Nogle hunde er tiltrukket af kakao mulch, og vil spise det i varierende mængder. The coca bean shells can contain from 0.2% to 3% theobromine (the toxin ) as compaired to 1-4% in unprocessed beans. Coca bønner tanke kan indeholde fra 0,2% til 3% theobromin (den toksin) som compaired til 1-4% i uforarbejdede bønner.

Onions Løg

Onions, especially raw onions, have been shown to trigger hemolytic anemia in dogs. Løg, især rå løg, har vist sig at udløse hæmolytisk anæmi hos hunde. (Stephen J Ettinger, DVM and Edward C. Fieldman, DVM 's book: Textbook of Veterinary Internal Medicine vol. 2 pg 1884.) Stay away from onion powder too. (Stephen J Ettinger, DVM og Edward C. Fieldman, DVM 's bog: Lærebog of Veterinary Intern medicin vol. 2 pg 1884.) Hold dig væk fra løg pulver også.

Potatoes Kartofler

Potato poisonings among people and dogs are rare but have occurred. Kartoffel forgiftning blandt mennesker og hunde er sjældne, men der er sket. The toxin, solanine, is poorly absorbed and is only found in green sprouts (these occur in tubers exposed to sunlight) and green potato skins. Den toksin, solanin, er dårligt absorberet og er kun fundet i grønne spirer (disse optræder i knolde, der udsættes for sollys) og grøn kartoffel skind. This explains why incidents seldom occur. Dette forklarer, hvorfor hændelser sjældent forekomme. Note that cooked, mashed potatoes are fine for a dogs health, actually quite nutritious and digestible. Bemærk, at kogte, kartoffelmos fine er for en hunde sundhed, faktisk ret nærende og fordøjelig.

Artificial Sweeteners Kunstige sødemidler

Xylitol is used as a sweetener in many products, especially sugarless gum and candies. Xylitol anvendes som sødemiddel i mange produkter, især sugarless gummi og slik. Ingesting large amounts of products sweetened with xylitol may cause a sudden drop in blood sugar in dogs, resulting depression, loss of coordination, and seizures. Indtagelsen af store mængder produkter sødet med xylitol kan forårsage et pludseligt fald i blodsukkeret hos hunde, som følge af depression, manglende koordinering, og beslaglæggelser. According to Dr. Eric K. Dunayer, a consulting veterinarian in clinical toxicology for the poison control center, "These signs can develop quite rapidly, at times less than 30 minutes after ingestion of the product" states Dr. Dunayer, "...therefore, it is important that pet owners seek veterinary treatment immediately." Ifølge Dr. Eric K. Dunayer, en høring dyrlæge i klinisk toksikologi for giften Kontrol Center, "Disse symptomer kan udvikle sig ret hurtigt, til tider mindre end 30 minutter efter indtagelse af produktet" hedder Dr. Dunayer, "... Derfor er det vigtigt, at ejerne søge dyrlægebehandling straks. "

Turkey Tyrkiet

Turkey skin is currently thought to cause acute pancreatis in dogs, partly due to it's high fat content. Tyrkiet huden er i øjeblikket menes at forårsage akut pancreatis hos hunde, dels på grund af det høje fedtindhold.

Other foods listed by the ASPCA as harmful: Andre fødevarer, som ASPCA som sundhedsskadelige:

Alcoholic beverages Alkoholiske drikkevarer

Avocado (the only "fatty" member of the vegetable family) Avocado (den eneste "fedtfri" medlem af vegetabilske familie)

Coffee (all forms of coffee) Kaffe (alle former for kaffe)

Moldy or spoiled foods Moldy eller forkælet fødevarer

Salt Salt

Yeast dough Gaerdej

Garlic Hvidløg

The Bottom Line Den nederste linje

Thanks to a more educated public, fewer fatalities from foods like chocolate are being reported these days. Takket være en mere uddannede offentlige, færre trafikdræbte fra fødevarer som chokolade bliver rapporteret i disse dage. But it's important to keep up with what's currently known about foods and their effects on dogs health. Men det er vigtigt at holde sig ajour med, hvad der er i øjeblikket kendskab til fødevarer og deres virkninger på hunde sundhed. Grapes and cocoa mulch, for example, were only discovered very recently to have harmful effects. Druer og kakao mulch, for eksempel, blev kun opdaget for nylig at have skadelige virkninger.
