My dog ate cherry pits. What are the symptoms and when do they start?

Question

Hi, my dog is a shipoo. He weighs 17-18 lbs. He ate two cherry pits that missed the trashcan before I could take them away. What symptoms should I look out for and when do they start happening? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | unneutered | 3 years and 5 months old | 18 lbs

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Cherry pits can sometimes cause gastrointestinal obstruction. The symptoms of obstruction include vomiting, poor appetite, abdominal pain, lack of stools. The signs usually start within 24-48 hrs. If Nene chewed the pits, there is a small chance of cyanide intoxication. The signs to look for are panting, red gums, disorientation. They normally start a few hours after toxin ingestion. However, if Nene ate only two pits, he will likely pass them in his stools and he will not show any worrying symptoms.
