onions

"Onions contain an ingredient called thiosulphate which is toxic to cats
and dogs. The ingestion of onions causes a condition called hemolytic
anemia, which is characterized by damage to the red blood cells. Onion
toxicity can cause the red blood cells circulating through your pet?s
body to burst.

Symptoms of this condition include breathlessness, lethargy, diarrhea
and vomiting. Your pet also could lose interest in food as a result of
this type of poisoning. It may take up to two to four days after your
pet eats the onion for symptoms to appear.

Are All Onions Dangerous To Pets?

All onions ? whether cooked or raw ? are a danger to your pet. It takes
a very small amount of onions to poison your cat or dog.

Consumption of as little as 5 g/kg of onions in cats or 15 to 30 g/kg in
dogs has resulted in clinically important hematologic changes. Onion
toxicosis is consistently noted in animals that ingest more than 0.5% of
their body weight in onions at one time.*
