So glad that Zoe is OK now, thanks to your quick handling of the situation. These little ones have to be watched like hawks sometimes. Today I was baking cookies, and some choc. chips fell to the floor. I had to practically dive to the floor to get them before my boys got them in their mouths. It gets crazy sometimes!

Oh poor Zoe. I'm glad he feels better. My Kodi ate onion also before I didn't Know they were toxic. He had a big round slice. I was lucky I guess all he got from it was onion breath.

I'm glad to see he's doing well! What a scare!

Glad Zoe is back to normal. Why would a dog eat onions? You don't say how much Zoe weighs for the dosage they recommended. I've always been told 1/2 teaspoon per 5 pounds, but have never heard of waiting for the fizz to stop or mixing with milk or peanut butter. Good to know.

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.

Silly boy!!!!!

Glad he's feeling better. Great tips on how to induce vomiting.

Sorry, about the gender confusion, I was thinking more Zoey then Zoe. So I guess you are just making sure the peroxide is "fresh" by looking for the fizz. Silly boy, eating onions, I bet he wanted a kiss when you got home too!

hahahaha..the sad part was...I WAS HOME!! Thank goodness I was or else it would've been too late. When he threw up, onions was not the only thing that came out. I don't know how he gets into things because I am constantly cleaning stuff up so he can't get to it. He really is a silly dog but I love him and the monster that he is.

As for the name...I get alot of that. "WHY DID YOU NAME HIM A GIRLS NAME?" I thought it was a cute name and now I can't imagine him being named anything else.
