My cat ate onion dip. Will a small lick make my kitten sick?

Hello, I'm sorry to hear that Luna got into the pan with onions. Generally, she would need to eat a few mouthfuls of pure onion to get a toxic amount. A few licks of oil in a pan with onion in it wouldn't cause problems, except maybe some GI distress from excess fat. If she did ingest a toxic amount of onions, it would cause anemia which results in weakness and lethargy. If you are concerned about the amount she ingested, call her veterinarian and schedule an appointment for a physical exam and bloodwork. I hope this helps.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I can see that there was some garlic and onion in the salsa, which can be toxic to pets. However, these ingredients are toxic in larger amounts, and it does not seem like you used much of the salsa in your queso. I recommend keeping a close eye on Marvin - he should be seen by a vet if he develops lethargy, vomiting, or inappetance. I hope all is well!

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I'm sorry to hear that Jax got into the french onion dip. While onions are toxic to dogs, it requires a large quantity of real onions to cause a problem to dogs. Signs of onion toxicity include lethargy, pale gums or red-brown gums, vomiting, or drooling. If Jax is still acting normally and it has been over 2-3 hours from the time of ingestion, he should be OK. He may have an upset stomach and have some diarrhea for the next couple days, but he shouldn't experience any serious complications. If you are ever concerned, I recommend contacting your nearest veterinarian to see if Jax can be seen. I hope this is helpful!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may cause gastrointestinal upset or she may be fine depending on the amount eaten and how well tolerated it is. Watch her closely for signs of gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting inappetence, nausea, and/or vomiting. If any of these are observed, have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Otherwise, she may be fine. Best of luck!

Doug will likely be fine. If you want to be extra cautious you can try wiping T off with something like a wet wipe or baby wipe or even if he's a nice cat giving him a quick bath. But that is unlikely to cause him any harm.

He may experience some digestive upset but a one-time consumption shouldn't cause any problems with anemia. If he gets sick, refuses to eat, becomes lethargic, starts vomiting or has diarrhea, get him in to see your vet as soon as possible.

The very small amount of onion powder in this shouldn't cause your cat any problems. He may get some stomach upset due to getting a decent amount of unfamiliar food, but no more than that. If he should become ill, refuse to eat, etc, get him in to see your vet right away.
