My dog licked onion sauce and threw up. Should I take her to ER?

Such a small amount of onion is unlikely to cause any toxic effect (linked to anemia and weakness after a few days) - it may be hamburger meat or other rich food which has triggered the vomiting. I would recommend giving oral rehydration fluids (pedialyte) and feeding small but frequent meals of a very low fat, bland diet such as boiled skinless chicken, brown rice and canned pumpkin (or canned specialist intestinal low fat diet). If symptoms persist a full vet check would be required

Oh no! I don't think any of those ingredients would be toxic. The salsa probably has some onions in it but I doubt there would be enough to be a concern. If Cassidy continues to vomit it would be a good idea to see an emergency veterinarian but otherwise I'd think it would be okay to monitor him.

Yes, I would take her in so you can get some medications to get her feeling better. In all likelihood she is going to be OK, but without the appropriate medications she may be feeling very under the weather for a long period of time. Hope this helps. I would also be prepared to tell your veterinarian about all the different ingredients in the sauce so they can make sure nothing extraordinarily toxic was ingested.

Hi there! As long as Nova is acting normal, I wouldn't be concerned. It's likely that he threw up the packet because it couldn't be digested and was causing some irritation to his stomach. I'm not sure what specific kind of packet it was (ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.?) but most common condiments are not toxic to dogs and should not cause any serious problems.

If Dallas is calm now, keep an eye on her. Should she have another one of these episodes, yes take her into an ER vet right away. Otherwise, call her vet in the morning to make her an appointment for a health check.

This may cause some GI upset which may result in vomiting and/or diarrhea. If it is limited to a couple of bouts and she's back to normal in 12 hours or so, you don't need to worry. Just keep an eye on her for the next 12-24 hours, and if she develops vomiting or diarrhea that is severe or continuous, or if she becomes increasingly lethargic, seek emergency care.

It sounds like you did the right thing for Loki so far. If you ever have questions about what is safe to give him or your other pets, please feel free to ask us here on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! That is what we are here for. I'm sure your vet's office would not mind to answer questions if you call them either. Keep an eye on Loki for the next few days because, as you already know, onions can be very dangerous in these little guys. If you notice that Loki seems more lethargic or tired than normal, take him to your vet right away. Once there your vet can perform a lab test (a CBC) to make sure the onions did not cause a problem.
