Because it can happen to anyone

I'm glad to hear your dog is getting better!! Thanks for the heads up. I had heard about grapes/raisens, chocolate and the sugar free gum etc but never onions!

We count ourselves as lucky. Holly came home Friday and was doing ok but still shaky and tired. She would eat some but was having seizures and throwing up. We just held her and tried to keep her from hurting herself and had to just take a wait and see approach. Well as of this afternoon she has gone almost 60 hours without vomiting and almost 24 hours without having a seizure. Yesterday if I put her down she just sat down, today she ran out into the sunshine and starting chasing bugs, she laid out in the sunshine, grabbed a piece of hoof to chew on (she still didn't learn of course) I took it away. But she is brighter and more alert. I think we are guardedly optomistic now, we know things could change again but I think we are past the worst part (well except getting past the bills). Thanks so much for everyones well wishes and prayers, I know that helped so much in her healing process. I know we keep a closer eye on everyone now, sometimes you just can't stop something from happening, but we can take more precautions so it doesn't happen again.

Karen, so glad Holly seems to be over the worst of it. I've certainly learned a lot from the prior posts. Foxy doesn't usually get table food, but we do slip once in a while. Will be doubly careful now.

My "other" four-footed fur kids are so much a part of our family that I dread the thought of losing them for any reason. Thanks for this tough reminder that we can never be too vigilant in our care of them!

Karen,

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm so sorry little Holly is going through this, but I for one had NO idea about onions, so maybe Holly's story will save another dog from having to go through the same difficulties she is experiencing.

I hope your precious little baby continues to improve. It's such an easy thing to do - leave a leftover out on the counter. Something so innocent and yet so bad for our little friends.

Hugs for little Holly. Keep us posted on her progress.
