My 3 and a half month old mini dachshund lunged at my burger to ight and ate a piece of lettuce. I has chopped onions on my burger and I'm not certain if she got any in her mouth. If she did, how much would she need to consume to become sick? And when would I know if the onions effected her? She is 5 pounds. Thank you

Hello and thank you for reaching out to PetCoach. Hazel would have to eat a large amount of onion to become sick, so definitely more than little pieces that would be on a burger. The toxic dose is approximately 30 g per kilogram, so if she weighs 2kg, she would have had to eat at least 60g of onion to become sick. I recommend watching for any signs of pale gums, difficulty breathing, or GI signs such as vomiting or diarrhea. If you don't notice any signs in the next couple hours, Hazel will likely be just fine. I hope this is helpful!
