What do you do if a dog eats onions

Onions can cause more damage to your dog than just bad breath. This pungent culinary favorite might add flavor to your dishes, but it contains a toxin that can cause serious complications for dogs. Symptoms of onion toxicity in dogs If you think your dog may have eaten onions, there are a few symptoms of anemia to look out for:
  • Lethargy
  • Weakness
  • Decreased appetite
  • Pale gums
  • Fainting
  • Reddish *****
Treating onion toxicity in dogs The most important thing you can do, as a dog owner, to treat and prevent onion toxicity is to never allow your dog to eat onions. If your dog is suffering from toxic effects, she will probably require veterinary attention. Your veterinarian may induce vomiting, depending on how recently your dog ate the onions, and will offer supportive care until your dog's body can produce enough healthy red blood cells to replace the damaged ones. In severe cases, your dog may require a blood transfusion.

Is using a dog crate cruel?

Dogs in the wild need a safe haven and they usually seek out a place where they can call their own. If a domestic dog has no particular place to hide it will usually go under a table or stairs to shelter itself. So no using a dog crate is not cruel and it is a great way to house train your pet.

Why You Shouldn't Swap Small Clipper Blades Between Dog Clippers

Why You Shouldn't Swap Small Clipper Blades Between Dog Clippers Although dog clippers manufacturers claim that their clipper blades are universal (fit other dog clippers), they work best on the dog clippers they were designed for. The socket (clipper blade), the hinge assembly and blade drive assembly (dog clippers) vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. If you are using different brands of clipper blades on different brands of dog clippers, there will not be a perfect fit. HINGE ASSEMBLY The hinge assembly secures the clipper blade (via the blade socket) to the dog clippers. If the hinge assembly is not regularly replaced, your clipper blades will start to rattle on your dog clippers. The ears on the clipper blade socket are constantly rubbing against the metal hinge assembly, which consequently causes wear on both the socket and hinge assembly. You must ensure that there is a snug fit between the clipper blade socket and the hinge assembly or the blade will eventually rattle. On average, if a groomer is clipping 8 dogs a day, the hinge assembly will probably need replacing every 12 weeks. When replacing the hinge assembly, make sure that the screws are secure because if they are too loose the clipper blade will not cut correctly or not at all. It is not advisable to try to adjust the ears on the socket to enable the clipper blade to fit the hinge assembly, because you will risk breakage which will render the blade redundant until you get the socket replaced by a sharpening professional. The best person to adjust clipper blade sockets is an experienced clipper blade sharpener because he has the relevant tools and should the socket snap, he has spares. BLADE DRIVE ASSEMBLY / BLADE LEVER The plastic lever on the blade drive assembly locks into the cutting blade and drives it backwards and forwards. Problems occur because the black plastic lever is constantly rubbing against the metal cutting blade; so consequently, the plastic will gradually wear away. Once the lever is worn, the cutting blade won't be driven side to side as much as it should. If the blade drive assembly is not regularly replaced, the clipper blade will leave tram lines in the coat, pull at the hair, the dog clippers will sound noisier and the clipper blade will eventually, stop cutting. On average, if a groomer is clipping 8 dogs a day, the blade drive assembly will probably need replacing every 6 - 8 weeks. If your blade drive assembly is worn, your newly sharpened blades will not cut because the cutter blade is not being pushed along the whole width of the clipper blade (it is more noticeable on blades where the teeth are further apart - 3,4 5 & 7). If this is the case, we would strongly recommend that you replace your blade drive assembly.

My 4.3 Yorkshire Terrier is constipated, How much Lactulose 3.3 can I give him?

Surprisingly, unsweetened, canned pumpkin will do wonders to help with a constipated dog. Use a small amount from a teaspoon at first then go to a larger amount a day later. Dogs love pumpkin so getting it to eat some shouldn't be an issue. Pumpkin is a good source of fiber for them and will not hurt them. Go sparingly at first so they dont end up with diahrea.

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY DOG IS CONSTIPATED

The only info I can give you is if it tries to pass stool and nothing comes out, then that might be an indicator. Do not take it lightly though. If you see bloating of any kind this could be an obstruction which is life threatening. Some breeds are actually prone to getting constipation but usually the smaller breeds. When I raised GSP, I had to put one down as she ate half a Frisbee and the obstruction caused part of her intestines to die. I always kept dried apricots around. Give the dog no more than 3 and prunes work also. I wish you luck but observe the dog closely and your vet can also call something in to **** store.
Blessings

What are some symptoms that a person may encounter when they are withdrawing from chewing tobacco? My son has chewed for 25 years and is now 247 days without chew.

I don't know though I would expect some initial irritability, but I expect after 247 days that would have worn off. Saliva production might be semi-permanently altered (increased) and food is probably tasting differently... ehealth.com might be able to provide more information.

What are some of the long term health effect of poisoning to a small yorkie dog in the first 10weeks of lif

It depends on the type of poison. With antifreeze, for example, I would worry about long term kidney damage. With poisons that affect the neurological system, I would worry about seizures and neurological problems.
