There is no home remedy for garlic toxicity (if that is what he has). Garlic toxicity results in oxidative damage to the red blood cells (making the red blood cells more likely to rupture) - you cannot fix this at home. He needs to see a vet for this issue. This can be very serious. https://phz8.petinsurance.com/pet-health/pet-toxins/garlic-toxicity-and-pets I don't recommend you wait to seek treatment. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Hopefully there wasn't garlic in there, as garlic is toxic to dogs. If she is otherwise fine, keep an eye on Audrey for now. If she vomits again, stops eating, stops drinking, starts vomiting water, her gums are pale, or she become very lethargic, have her seen by a vet right away. Best of luck.

I don’t think so - garlic and onions can cause anemia by damaging the red blood cells and symptoms are usually lethargy and a decreased appetite. It would also take much more than a few sprinkles of powder to cause a problem. If the vomiting continues I’d recommend seeing your vet.

I'm glad to hear that Minnie's vomiting has improved since you stopped giving her the garlic supplement. At high enough doses, garlic can cause varying degrees of damage to the red blood cells and occasionally can affect the kidneys. Odds are good that Minnie is not experiencing any of these problems since her vomiting has improved since stopping the supplement. However, the only way to know how well her red blood cells and kidneys are actually working is to take her to the vet to have some blood work (a CBC and chemistry panel) checked. The important part is that you recognized the potential for problems and stopped the supplement - I highly doubt it caused any lasting damage! Unfortunately, there aren't any "natural" safe and effective flexible preventive options. I'd recommend talking to your vet about starting Minnie on a prescription chewable product, like Nexgard, Simparica, Credelio or Bravecto. Since fleas and ticks can transmit a number of different diseases, it is important to keep her on an effective product consistently. I hope that everything goes well for Minnie!
