Guest greyhound_mommy Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Halle and Sam got into a bag of onions I set out this evening. I think they only hate one. Should I induce vomiting just incase? Thanks............and yes I know they ate it cause I found part of one and Sam has horrid onion breath.

Guest greyhound_mommy Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Just about 5 minutes ago also if you remember the dosing my vet just told me but stupid me didn't write it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KennelMom Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Yeah...I'd definitely induce vomiting. Better safe than sorry. If you're using hydrogen peroxide, I just open the mouth and dump...or load up the nearest syringe and squirt. You'll get roughly the right amount and they're gonna puke it up anyway.

Guest Jennifer4719 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 and make sure you are outside when you start administering the peroxide. It usually doesn't take very long for the vomiting to start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greyhound_mommy Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 soooooooooo no vomit yet and we have given him several tsp. Probably about 7. He keeps hunkering thinking he has to poo. I feel so bad. He's not even hacking. I bought a new bottle right after I posted. I think it's trying to come out the wrong end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyTzu Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 It takes mores peroxide than you realize to cause puking. I would just open his mouth and pour, like Heather says.

Guest greyhound_mommy Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 TOUCH DOWN! Heh, eventually we just poured. Poor little guy. He's very upset to be outside. I keep bringing him in on the rug to warm up and back outside. He seems confused. Bet he won't touch onions again lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KennelMom Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 They should vomit within 5-6 minutes. 7 tsps isn't enough. Open and pour. You want him to throw up that onion asap. Good news! I'd leave him out for a few minutes...there can be some residual pukes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest greyhound_mommy Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks for all the thoughts and advice. He did vomit twice last night. I felt so bad for him. He kept squatting in the yard like he had to poo. I figured for him to be that miserable he had to be in pain. He seemed so confused. I fed him a very light meal this morning and he ate then threw up more yellow, foamy stuff. I figured there would be kibble in it but there wasn't. Hopefully he feels better tonight and I will give him another light meal. Onions were immediately put back away. I took them out and told DH "look I had onions." (I couldn't find any the other night) and left them out. Bad move. Glad they both were ok. I am assuming Halle didn't get much cause she seemed ok. Sam I KNEW had it because of his onion breath!
