Plain-English summary
A 3 1/2-year-old Labrador retriever was brought to the vet after suddenly vomiting and being very tired. The dog was diagnosed with acute renal failure (ARF) due to eating dried currants, which are toxic to dogs. To treat the condition, the vet performed hemodialysis, a procedure that helps filter toxins from the blood. The treatment was successful, and the dog was able to recover.
