It's quite common for dogs to get into human food, and while onions can indeed be toxic to them, the small amount that Millie consumed is unlikely to cause serious harm. Onions contain compounds that can damage a dog's red blood cells, potentially leading to anemia if ingested in large quantities.

Given that Millie only had a small amount, it's important to keep an eye on her over the next few days for any signs of distress or unusual behavior. Symptoms of onion toxicity can include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or weakness. Should you notice any of these symptoms, it would be prudent to consult with a veterinarian.

In the meantime, make sure Millie has plenty of fresh water available and monitor her appetite and energy levels. To prevent future incidents, it's a good idea to keep human food out of her reach.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
