Wat is het?
Vitis spp. (grapes, raisins, currants, sultanas) can trigger acute tubular necrosis and kidney failure in dogs. Toxin unknown; response unpredictable.
"The toxic agent (or agents) has so far defied detection. Analysis for a variety of substances has proved negative, including mycotoxins, heavy metals, pesticides and vitamin D3... It is postulated that the cause may be a nephrotoxin"
