Dogs who eat onions will experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea. In severe cases, it may lead to hemolytic anemia or blood in the urine. This is because onions contain large amounts of disulfides, which can destroy your dog’s red blood cells. This then leads to the problem of severe anemia. Red blood cells have the role of transporting oxygen. If oxygen cannot be transported smoothly, the dog will be in pain. If not treated in time, the dog will die. Feeding a small amount of onions for a long time can cause chronic poisoning in dogs, showing jaundice and anemia.
What to do if your dog eats onions:
1. Stop using it immediately after symptoms appear, and then take it to the pet hospital for infusion to supplement nutrition and diuretics. , accelerate the discharge of denatured hemoglobin from the body, and provide blood-replenishing drugs during this period.
2. Dogs with severe hemolysis should be given glucose, Ringer's solution, cooperate with hospital treatment, and should receive blood transfusions if necessary.
3. It is usually best not to give dogs food that humans eat, and be careful not to let dogs pick up random things to eat.
