Chinaberry Seeds Toxic to Pets

The berries of the Chinaberry tree are a frequent pet owner problem. These yellow, marble-sized, poisonous fruits are appealing to pets who readily consume them. The modified toxin nortriterpene, which is a naturally occurring plant produced insecticide, produces the following symptoms: loss of appetite, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea, bloody feces, stomach pain, pulmonary congestion, cardiac arrest, rigidity, lack of coordination, and weakness. 

If presented with this problem repeat the following simple tasks:

                   1. Stop further ingestion of the plant

                   2. Induce vomiting using 3% hydrogen peroxide solution and rinse mouth thoroughly 

                   3. Seek Emergency Veterinary Assistance
