My bearded dragon ate a small piece of onion. Is it toxic? What to do?

Question

My bearded dragon ate a small piece of onion (1-1.5 inch). I read that it could be toxic to them. Will he be ok?

If it was a recent ingestions (last few hours), a veterinarian can induce vomiting. It is not certain whether onions are toxic to bearded dragons or not. Offering plenty of oral fluids could help move the onion through the GI tract. Offering warm water soaks can help with defecation, thereby moving foods through the GI tract faster.
