Pit is a bundle of veterinary fun.
He got into the garbage on Friday morning and on Saturday afternoon he started urinating a very dark blood. We went to the vets immediately (not my regular vet, mind you), got antibiotics for infection right off the bat and went through x-rays and urine analysis to see what the problem is. Much money later and through small clues it appears that he had eaten onion and that is causing the destruction of his red blood cells and such. the vet used the words "some anemia" when he was reading the results to me (at that point everything was going over my head).
Roommate says she threw out half a large onion and chances are Pit probably ate that, which I imagine is over .5% of his body weight.
So now we're going back to my regular vet on Friday for round two of bloodwork and I'm just wondering, were he to develop anemia from this onion mishap, does that ever go away?
Anybody here ever dealt with onion toxicity?
