Dog ate some onion

Anonymous
My 28 lb mini golden doodle possibly ate some onion. I found the peel on the carpet so she left that. I heard crunching but didn't investigate. (So upset). Clearly she left the peel so maybe didn't like it. I doubt she had more than 1/4 of one or half (half unlikely)
I was cooking and used most of the two onions out.

Sounds like she should be fine, but anything I should look out for or call vet in the morning?
I'm so stressed. And usually so beyond careful!!!

All the websites say that onions are a problem. Friendship vet (24 hours) has told us on the phone whether we need to come in for things--and is credible. I would call them.

Call pet poison control. It's a $75 phone consult but they will tell you based on the weight of your dog whether it's a worrisome amount or not, and what symptoms to look for.

Keep us posted, OP. I've heard onions are very bad.

My yorkie ate onions and he was fine!!!! He will be 18 soon so no harm no foul.

Toxic dose is:

5 grams of onion per kg of body weight.

Assuming 1 ounce of onion consumed for a 28 lbs dog, you are BELOW the toxic dose.

But keep watch for symptoms of diarrhea, vomiting, reddish urine, rapid heartbeat and lethargy and trouble breathing.
