My dog ate a scallion pancake. Is it safe for dogs, or should I worry?

A few pieces of onion ingested by a dog of Mochi's size will likely cause nothing worse than some minor stomach upset, if anything at all. She would need to eat 2 or 3 med/large onions in order to be at risk of serious toxicity. If she develops vomiting or diarrhea but continues to behave normally, you can fast her for 24 hours then feed a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Transition slowly to her regular diet afterwards.

While onions can be bad for dogs that is not likely enough to cause any toxicity problems. However I would be worried about it being fried and causing an upset stomach and pancreatitis. This can be painful and start with a decreased appetite, vomiting, diarrhea and lethargy. If you notice any of these symptoms, take him to the vet for testing and treatments.

It is unlikely that there was enough onion present to cause a problem, but eating that much pizza will likely cause some gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach and intestines) which could lead to vomiting and diarrhea. He could also develop pancreatitis. If he starts vomiting, having diarrhea, isn't wanting to eat, or seems lethargic, please take him to your vet for treatment. In the meantime, withhold for at least 12 hours, then offer small amounts of. a bland diet such as boiled chicken and white rice for the next couple of days. Onions will cause oxidative damage to the red blood cells which can result in anemia. If the onions are going to be an issue, it will be a few days before you would see this, and generally would present as decreased appetite and lethargy. If those symptoms are noted, get him in to your vet for bloodwork. Again, I doubt there was enough onion present to be a problem. as generally its a relatively large amount that has to be ingested to cause a clinical problem. thanks for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about GG. The toxic amount of onion in dogs is 100 grams (about the size of a medium onion) per 20kg of a dog's weight to cause toxic effects, which means that a 45 pound dog would have to eat a medium to large onion to experience dangerous toxicity levels. Luckily in this case, two onion rings will not contain that much onion. There is a concern about the fattiness of the onion rings, as they are fried, and fried and fatty foods can cause pancreatitis in dogs. I would monitor her for vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, a hunched up appearance, vomiting undigested food, and lethargy. If you see any of those signs, have her seen by a vet immediately. Hopefully, however, she will be just fine, and I don't think in this case, you need to do anything. Don't induce vomiting, and there's no need to take her into a vet unless you see any of the signs I just mentioned. I hope this helps!

Oh no, that wasn't good that Stimpy at the pizza and onions. You are correct that onions are toxic, but the pizza itself also poses a big problem. Pizza is fatty and greasy, and that amount of fat and grease could be enough to trigger pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is extremely painful, very serious, and can be fatal. The toxic dose for onions is 15-30 grams per 1kg body weight. For him, that would be 422-845 grams of onions. The pizza likely did not contain that amount of onions, so I am more worried about the fat and grease. You need to monitor him closely. If Stimpy starts vomiting, becomes anorexia, has a painful abdomen, hunched back, distended abdomen, and/or lethargy, those can be signs of pancreatitis and he has to see a vet immediately. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach! The amount of onion and the size of Paddy should not cause any clinical symptoms associated with toxicity. You may see GI signs such as vomiting / diarrhea. I would monitor for now and if you notice any signs such as lethargy, inappetance, vomiting blood, etc., I would have a veterinarian examine Paddy and test her blood. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions / concerns. I am also available via consultation if needed.

Oh no, that was naughty of Piper! If she just got into the trash within the past two hours, you can take her into a vet immediately to have vomiting induced to get the onions out of her system to prevent any toxicity from occurring. Otherwise, you can monitor her for now. There likely isn't enough onion in these rings to cause toxic symptoms, but to be safe if you see any lethargy, weakness, ataxia, pale gums, hyper salivation, vomiting, diarrhea, or bloody urine, I would have Piper seen by a vet immediately.
