Michelle Keegan rushes her pet dachshund Phoebe to the vet after she accidentally ate a potentially-deadly flapjack full of ‘toxic’ raisins

Michelle Keegan has told of her horror after discovering her beloved dachshund Phoebe had eaten a flapjack full of ‘toxic raisins’ on Monday.

The Brassic actress, 33, knew of the potential dangers of a dog eating raisins so rushed Phoebe to the vets, where she could be given a vomit-inducing injection.  

Raisins and grapes are known to be highly toxic to dogs and can result in acute kidney failure which can be fatal.
