Is a cherry plum tree safe for my goats to eat in their enclosure?

The fruit of a cherry is considered safe for cats, but the cherry's leaves and roots are not so she should be ok. Monitor for abnormal signs, like vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy and have her examined by a vet if you notice anything.

Cherry pits do contain trace amounts of cyanide, which is toxic to dogs - but normally, even a small dog like a Yorkie would have to eat a large number of them to cause a problem. The pit should pass through uneventfully, but if Jordan has any vomiting, lethargy or other problems I would recommend taking him to the vet for an exam to be safe.

The stems, seeds, and leaves of the peach are toxic to cats because they contain cyanide. Ingesting them can cause dilated pupils, difficulty breathing, brick red mucous membranes, panting, and shock. To be safe, I would keep Chloe out of the tree.

No, it should not be dangerous for him to eat a small amount of cherry chunks. It could cause some stomach upset, depending on how much he ate. You should not feed cherry pits, stems, and leaves as they can contain cyanide, which is poisonous if consumed in high enough quantities.

Azalea is toxic to goats. GI signs appear first within six hours of ingestion, and include salivation, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and tremors. If he ate enough of the plant, then symptoms progress to convulsions, followed by coma and death. If you aren't sure that Jebediah ate the plant, I would monitor him for now, and keep him in place where he has no access to the Azalea. If you notice any of the GI signs I mentioned above, you will need to get a vet out to see him immediately. There is no cure for Azalea toxicity, but there is supportive treatment. Activated charcoal can be given to prevent further absorption of the toxin, as well as IV fluids.

According to the Pet Poison Hotline, all parts of the cherry plant except for the pulp around the seeds are toxic and contain cyanide. It is fine for Thor to have the pulp, but be sure to remove the stem and any seeds. He can have them as an occasional treat and only a few at a time.

Thanks for reaching out about your gerbil. There are definitely some leaves that could be toxic, but not many household vegetables are toxic. You should avoid any plants from the onion family (onions, leeks, etc.). If using outdoor plants, leaves from apple or fruit with pits (apricot, peach) can contain some cyanide and be toxic. If you can't identify a plant, research it before feeding. Good luck.
