Hi and thanks for your question. I would watch him for the next 72 hours and take him into see a veterinarian if he exhibits lethargy, decreased or no appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, pale gums, excessive panting. Onions can be toxic to dogs as can eating from the garbage! Onions cause hemolytic anemia and getting into the garbage and eating scraps of food he shouldn't have can cause pancreatitis. Be sure to be on the lookout for the above symptoms and take him in should he exhibit any.
