My dog ate garlic/onion, has runny yellow stool. Should I be worried?

Question

My dog is experiencing non frequent yellow/orange stool that is runny, and it seems like he can’t control when it happens. He did get into some chicken from the trash that had soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder on it. Should I be concerned? Pet's info: Dog | Labradoodle | Male | 3 months and 8 days old | 7 lbs

Garlic powder could be extremely toxic especially if combined with onion powder which is toxic as well. Signs can start with gastrointestinal diarrhoea and vomiting but develop in more severe ones like anemia. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm/rule out these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed.
