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).
