my mom watched my dog and my brother had onion peels from a restraunt. He’s a messy eater and I always get worried but my mom says she watched her good. Do you think I need to be overly concerned or am I just being paranoid? Hums look good and she’s being herself


I completely understand your concern about your dog's health, especially when it comes to the risk of ingesting harmful foods like onions. Onions can indeed be toxic to dogs, as they have the potential to damage red blood cells and cause anemia. However, the fact that your dog is acting normally and doesn't show any signs of distress, such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or pale gums, is reassuring. It suggests that she either didn't ingest any onion peels or consumed an amount that isn't immediately harmful.
Since she's behaving well and her gums appear healthy, it's a positive indication. Nonetheless, I recommend keeping a close watch on her over the next few days. Be alert for any changes in her behavior or health, such as weakness, vomiting, or alterations in her appetite. Should you observe any of these symptoms, it would be prudent to reach out to your veterinarian for advice.
In the meantime, continue to ensure she doesn't have access to any foods that could be harmful. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you for reaching out.
