If your Norfolk Terrier accidentally eats cherries, follow these steps to keep your dog safe.
Assess Intake: Find out how much cherries your Norfolk Terrier has eaten. Eating a small amount of cherries is usually not a problem for dogs, but eating a large amount or eating the seeds raises concerns.
Watch for symptoms: Cherries have cyanide in their seeds, which can be toxic to dogs if consumed in excess. Watch to see if your Norfolk Terrier develops any unusual symptoms after ingesting cherries. Symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, tremors, and loss of appetite.
Beware of seeds: Cherry seeds contain cyanide, which is toxic to dogs. Be especially careful if your Norfolk Terrier ingests cherry seeds.
Consult your veterinarian: If your Norfolk Terrier eats a large amount of cherries, develops any abnormalities, or ingests the seeds, contact your veterinarian. Your veterinarian will assess the situation and provide appropriate treatment and instructions if necessary.
Be especially careful with the cyanide found in cherry pits, which is toxic to dogs. Follow your veterinarian’s instructions depending on intake and symptoms. To protect your dog’s health, consult your veterinarian and take appropriate action.
