Raisins can indeed be toxic to dogs, and even a small amount can lead to serious health issues, including kidney failure. Since nala vomited the raisins shortly after ingestion, that might have helped reduce the risk, but it's still crucial to monitor her closely for any signs of distress or illness.

Some symptoms of raisin toxicity to watch for include vomiting (which you've already observed), diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite, increased thirst and urination, and abdominal pain.

Given that it's been two days and she seems fine, that's a positive sign. However, the risk of kidney damage can still be present. I strongly recommend taking her to a vet for a thorough check-up. The vet may want to run blood tests to assess her kidney function and ensure there are no delayed effects from the raisin ingestion.

It's always better to err on the side of caution, especially when dealing with potential toxins. Early intervention can significantly improve outcomes.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
