Hello, if this occurred within the last hour, you need to have your veterinarian evaluate her so that they can induce vomiting. If vomiting is successful, then Lucy may be free of risk from the toxicities of cherry pits. If it has been longer than this, still have her evaluated, however she may need to be hospitalized to be monitored for toxicity. Please bring Lucy to your veterinarian or nearest veterinary emergency hospital. Hope this helps and best of luck!
