My golden retriever just ate the middle of a plum, pit and all- is she safe?

I read in another question where someone asked how many peach/cherry/plum pits they would have to eat before it killed them and the answer to the question explained that all of said pits contain a natural form of cyanide called amygdalin and that it has killed cattle and hogs who have eaten fallen peaches... A few minutes ago, I fed my 1 year old Golden Retriever the middle of a ripe plum, covered with meat, but still with the pit inside. Stupidly, I had forgotten that plums even had pits and before I could do anything, she swallowed it, without even chewing on the pit. I feel terrible and I'm worried that with a poisonous pit this could kill her. Will the pit just pass the next time she poops or is she going to get sick?

she'll be just fine :o)



My labrador has eaten a lo worse and belive me it just comes out the other end!



If its only the 1 especially dont worry at all
Reply:It will pass if someone died of cyannide poisoning every time they swallowed a pip . Well thet wouldnt happen .
Reply:There is No where for it to go but OUT...watch her for a few days...if she get sick then take her to the vet. As long as she didn't stop breathing she will be fine, she will poop it out. If it make you feel better than call the vet but I don't think that neccessary. Good luck.
Reply:she will poo it out
Reply:She should be okay. Her next BM may be unusual. Try giving her a little cooking oil (1 tbsp) to help loosen her bowels. Good luck!
Reply:I've never heard this. I hope it's not true but you should call your vet immediately just in case.
Reply:She should be fine. If she starts acting sick call your vet right away.
Reply:keep an eye out for obstruction if he eats %26amp; drinks fine it will pass, but if he won't eat or drink or tries to vomit get him to the vet it is stuck some where good luck hope it passes
Reply:Give her a lot of water so it can safely pass down her throat. If you are giving her dry food, just give her soft wet food for about two days. This way the wet food is easier to digest than the dry food. Good luck.
Reply:take her to a vet?!
Reply:she will be fine.....Mine eats stuff all the time. she will pass it.
Reply:Yes, the plum pit (and leaves) is poisonous. Call your vet immediately.
