Onions, Leeks & Garlic!
Regardless of weather they're cooked or raw, onions, leeks and garlic if our pets digest them they can cause anaemia, resulting in the destruction of red blood cells. The toxic ingredient is Thiosulphate - with onions being the most toxic. If ingested dogs will begin to vomit and have diarrhoea, they will loose interest in food and be weak and dull.
Anaemia is when the red blood cells begin bursting as the travel throughout the body, signs off this will show up as blood in the animal's urine. They will also become breathless as the red blood cells that carrying oxygen are reducing in numbers.
Poisoning does occur a few days after consumption and can be after a large consumption or gradual smaller amounts.
