A pet dog eating onion may be poisoned: its disulfide destroys red blood cells, causing hemolytic anemia with fatigue, rapid breathing, pale mucous membranes, jaundice and less urine. Also, onion irritates the gut, causing diarrhea and vomiting. If symptoms appear after eating onion, take it to a vet promptly.
