Onions! HELP!

The clinic is going to call me back.  Is hydrogen peroxide how you get them to throw up?  1 tbs at a time? 

Oh, poor Bailey!!!  I don't know about inducing vomiting, but I'm sure H2O2 would do it.......  Why is the clinic calling you back?  Isn't it something that kinda should be addressed ASAP?
 
I hope Bailey is OK - good thing for doggy kisses so you knew about it!  I'd be interested to hear what they tell you to do for it.......

when I had to make Talus throw up, the emergency clinic said give him 1 tbsp. of salt and it will make him throw up....
It worked quickly and then he got water....
 
hope she's okay, let us know

this link says 2 tsp of peroxide or a teaspoon of salt will have the same effect as 1 tsp syrup of  ipecac.  [linkhttp://dogs.about.com/cs/disableddogs/p/vomit_induce.htm]http://dogs.about.com/cs/disableddogs/p/vomit_induce.htm[/link]

also saw this on the 'net

Induce Vomiting By Giving:

1. Syrup of ipecac (one teaspoonful per ten pounds body weight);2. Hydrogen peroxide 3% (one to three teaspoonfuls every ten minutes; repeat three times);

3. One half to one teaspoonful of salt, placed at the back of the tongue.

Onion and garlic poisoning   [linkhttp://www.petalia.com.au/templates/storytemplate_process.cfm?story_no=257#Top]Top[/link]
Onions and garlic are other dangerous food ingredients that cause sickness in dogs, cats and also livestock. Onions and garlic contain the toxic ingredient thiosulphate. Onions are more of a danger.

Pets affected by onion toxicity will develop haemolytic anaemia, where the pet#%92s red blood cells burst while circulating in its body.

At first, pets affected by onion poisoning show gastroenteritis with vomiting and diarrhoea. They will show no interest in food and will be dull and weak. The red pigment from the burst blood cells appears in an affected animal#%92s urine and it becomes breathless. The breathlessness occurs because the red blood cells that carry oxygen through the body are reduced in number.

The poisoning occurs a few days after the pet has eaten the onion. All forms of onion can be a problem including dehydrated onions, raw onions, cooked onions and table scraps containing cooked onions and/or garlic. Left over pizza, Chinese dishes and commercial baby food containing onion, sometimes fed as a supplement to young pets, can cause illness.

Onion poisoning can occur with a single ingestion of large quantities or with repeated meals containing small amounts of onion. A single meal of 600 to 800 grams of raw onion can be dangerous whereas a ten-kilogram dog, fed 150 grams of onion for several days, is also likely to develop anaemia. The condition improves once the dog is prevented from eating any further onion

While garlic also contains the toxic ingredient thiosulphate, it seems that garlic is less toxic and large amounts would need to be eaten to cause illness.

Unless the amount your dog ate was more than 0.5% of his body weight, you probably won't have to worry unless he is one of the dogs that is very susceptible.  The ASPCA has some good info on this.  I would just await the call from the clinic.

I agree with Anne.  And, I wouldn't give her syrup of ipecac that's just going to make her vomit and vomit probably way more than she needs too.

I gave her 3 tbl spoon of peroxide... I waited about 3 min in between each.  She finally just threw up.  She keeps dry heaving now.  Now Im all crying freaking out that I may have given her too much?  How long will she throw up?  

Ok she stopped, shes laying there now like she doesnt feel good, I guess not tho, throwing up isint fun.
 

Have they called you back yet?
 
I was reading in my search for you that you can do a tbsp of 3% peroxide (the normal concentration) for every 15-20 lbs body weight - how much does bailey weigh?  I wouldn't give any more, but I don't think you overdid it, just keep an eye on her

Amy, I'm glad she threw up, not to be gross, but were there onions in the pile?
 
Give her a big hug and a kiss from me and Talus...
Let us know how she's doing...

The normal dose of peroxide, once the vet tells you to use it, I believe is one *teaspoon*.  You need to call the vet clinic with that question.

Ok... now that I can stop for a sec and think... yeah, the emergency clinic said they would call me back after the vet looked it up online.  They called me back with the poison control centers hotline and said to call them.  I called and it just kept saying "Pleqase continue to hold, a specialist will be right with you."  [&:]   I heard the message about 10 times before hanging up and just decided to give her peroxide.  I looked up on here in the search thing how much people have given in the past, so I gave her 1 and waited.  Another and waited... one more, and about 5 min later she started.  She threw up about 4 times and then about 3 tiems with nothing coming out, then finally stopped.  I guess I was just freaking out.... worried sick!  I hate seeing her feeling like that but I wanted to be better safe than sorry especially since we didnt know how much she ate, if any.
 
Nicole - thank you for that info! 
 
Lori - thanks, I didnt read your post until after... 
 
Shes sleeping now... Im still alittle worried, and feel like a bad momma[]
 
 

O no.  I gave her just less than a *tablespoon*  3 times.  Shes 35 pounds.  Should I be worried about that now?! 

Would feeding her help since I seem to have given her too uch peroxide?
