How many onions can kill a dog from eating?
Dogs may be poisoned and die if they eat onions reaching 15~20g/kg. Onions contain disulfides. When dogs ingest a certain amount, hemolytic anemia will occur, which can be life-threatening. It is dangerous, so it is best not to feed onions to dogs to avoid affecting their health.
What should I do if my dog eats onions?
1. Stop feeding: You should stop feeding your dog after you find that it has eaten onions.
2. Drink a lot of water: You can give your dog a lot of drinking water to promote urination.
3. Inducing vomiting: The owner can press the dog’s abdomen slightly with his hands, or feed the dog some medicine that helps induce vomiting, forcing the dog to vomit out the onions remaining in the stomach.
4. Feed probiotics: The owner can properly feed the dog some probiotics that can help promote gastrointestinal motility, digestion and absorption to regulate the stomach.
5. Send to the hospital for treatment: If there are obvious symptoms of poisoning, such as drooling, lack of energy, etc., it is recommended to take it to the pet hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying treatment and causing other problems.
