时差N小时 千万不要给宠物吃洋葱(下)

Without enough of these, the animal becomes anemic, and–if the bone marrow¹ isn't given enough time to regenerate² new red blood cells-it may even die.

红细胞的缺失诱发动物贫血;如果骨髓没有及时更新红细胞，动物就会丧命。

This also explains why the effects of onion toxicity³ can take a few days to show up, and why even very small amounts of onions can stillhave a cumulative⁴ damaging effect.

这也是洋葱毒性在数日后才得以显现的原因，而极少量的洋葱也能带来极大的危害。

So what can you do to protect your dog or cat?

Also, do not feed your pet table scraps⁶ that contain onions in any shape or form.
