severe Common signs to watch for: - Abnormal drinking or

there have been anecdotal reports of cats and ferrets being
affected by these also. Ingestion of even a small amount of

failure. All types of grape- or raisin-containing products
(including grape juice, trail mix, bagels, etc.) can result in
