Dodging Explosions on Fumbles/Misses

Is there a clear answer for this?

Let's say someone throws a grenade and misses the DV and it blows up in a position that include themselves. If they can dodge bullets, can they dodge it? If so, is their DV to beat the number they rolled on their throw check? For example, Athletics crit fumble for a total of 3. Can they dodge using the 3 as the new DV for evasion? Can they not dodge because they would have had to declare it before knowing the DV/attack or something else?

I've just been ruling basically what I asked, but wondered if there was any official clarity or anyone did something similar/different.

I thought I already learned all the really practical info for this situation after 2 years. But it turns out there's always more.

About a year ago or so my vet had sent home my dog with a prefilled syringe of liquid diazepam as a rescue medication in case he goes into status/has a long one/etc.

Well I just learned that Diazepam apparently becomes much less effective if it's left in a plastic syringe. The vet who gave it to me did not give me any special instructions, this was not during a cluster and only intended to be used over the next day etc. I wasn't exactly expecting a year old medication to be perfectly effective - I've gotten multiple doses over time - but to be clear it starts to degrade almost 24 hours after it's loaded in.

They also charged me like $100 for it. Not that the price particularly matters, but when you learn you threw $100 away for what was supposed to be peace of mind in the worse case scenario, it's certainly a compounded frustration. Especially also because I've read that you can get it prescribed for a quarter of that price from a real pharmacy, but that's tbd tomorrow when I make some calls.

So just sharing in case anyone else has a vet that's done this. My primary vets were especially horrible at handling this situation from the beginning though so it's not actually that surprising. I mean they very strongly encouraged me to euthanize my 2 yr old cattle dog mix after his second seizure when blood work came back clear because "he probably had brain cancer."
