I made shepard's pie with like 7 large cloves of garlic, garlic salt and garlic powder. I made like 7 servings of it so I dont think there was much garlic in any 1 serving. I left the room for less than a minute and loki licked up some of the shepard
Hello and thank you for reaching out to Boop by Petco. You are correct in having concern for Loki licking food that contains garlic. The Allium species of plants is where the toxicity lies. These plants include garlic, onions, leeks, scallions, chives and shallots. If your pet eats one of these products, red blood cells can be damaged, resulting in the cells not being able to carry oxygen. Ingestion can also cause anemia (low red blood cell count) and, in severe cases, the anemia may lead to internal organ damage, organ failure or even death. Since it is difficult to know how much he ingested but it sounds like it wasn't a large amount, I recommend monitoring him closely at home for any signs of toxicity. These include Lethargy, weakness, ataxia (lack of muscle coordination), pale gums, red or brown discolored urine, hyper-salivation, occasional vomiting and/or diarrhea, If you see any of these signs, I recommend having Loki evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Otherwise, i
