Why It's Dangerous

Persimmon seeds can cause enteritis (intestinal inflammation) and physical blockage in the digestive tract. The flesh itself is not toxic but can cause diarrhoea if eaten in large amounts. Always remove seeds and feed small amounts of flesh only.

Symptoms to Watch For

Vet Guidance

Monitor for signs of digestive upset. Contact your vet if symptoms develop or if many seeds were swallowed.
