/28/02 "Avocados contain a toxic component called persin which has been shown to produce cardiac tissue damage, respiratory distress and mammary gland damage in a variety of animals, including horses, goats, sheep, dogs, cattle, rabbits, fish and birds," according to Jill A. Richardson, DVM, of the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC). If you suspect that your animal companion has eaten avocado, or any other potentially dangerous substance, call your veterinarian or the APCC's emergency hotline at 888-4-ANI-HELP for round-the-clock telephone assistance. For more information on poison prevention, visit the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center. at http://www.aspca.org.
