Still keep a close eye on her because there is a condition called hemolytic anemia they can get from onion ingestion that occurs several days, like 5 after eating. Symptoms are :
Pale gums
Yellow tinged gums or whites of the eyes
Dark or dark yellow urine
Tiring easily, weakness
Lethargy |
Zoe is 6lbs. I just followed the instructions that the posion control gave me and it worked. As for the fizz....don't wait for it to stop. Just pour it down a drain to see if it fizzes. The peanut butter is for them to swallow it. Zoe wouldn't drink the peroxide alone. They also told me about these symptoms and I have been watching him like a hawk. I am home all week except thursday so if he is fine by then, he should be ok. The vet told me to watch for these symptoms 2 days after the consumption but I will continue to look for them for a week...THANK YOU!
As for eating the onions...
Zoe eats anything and everything. I have to be extremely careful of what falls to the floor. I usually gate up the kitchen so he can't lick the floors but this time he went through a hefty garbage bag and took out leftovers and ate all the onions.
