My pregnant dog ate a cherry with the pit. Will it harm puppies?

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.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lisa. Mango pits are fairly large and have the potential to cause an intestinal obstruction. I recommend that she sees a veterinarian. X-rays will likely be taken. If the pit becomes lodged in her stomach or intestines, she will unfortunately need surgery to remove it. I hope this information helps. Good luck!

Hi and thanks for posting. Ingesting one Marachino cherry is probably not enough to cause a significant problem. I would watch out for any signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or decrease appetite and take Daisy in to be seen by her vet if you notice any symptoms.

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.

If it is just a small piece of chocolate, it is not likely to cause any harm to the mom or the babies. There are chocolate toxicity calculators available online where you can input the type of chocolate, the weight consumed, and the weight of the animal to see if the toxicity is significant. This would be my suggestion.

If the Danish contained only cherries I think Sammie will be fine, if there were raisins though she should see the vet straight away to have sickness induced and medical treatment. As you said, it might cause diarrhoea or could cause pancreas inflammation.Watch out for any vomiting or lose feaces and changes in her demeanour. I have seen young Labradors eat far worse and be absolutely fine, but always best to monitor as they are all different !

A partial or complete intestinal obstruction is always a concern when pits of any kind are ingested, especially by a smaller dog such as Harley. Given his symptoms, hospitalization for IV fluids, IV medications and follow up abdominal x-rays may be indicated since conservative treatment has been ineffective. A series of abdominal x-rays using contrast media, such as Barium, may diagnosis a partial or complete obstruction. Pancreatitis is also a concern as is cyanide toxicity from the cherry pits (if he ate enough of them).
