QUOTE:  " (our lab) ate 2 avocados and nearly died from it. She was hospitalized for a few days and had IVs, totally messed up liver enzymes, pancreatitis and so on. It was horrible. I'll never, ever leave them on my counter again.  It was so scary.

Personally, I'd never feed an avocado to a dog.  The poisen control hotline and my vet told me that they can be lethal to dogs."

On an earlier thread people were wondering about how toxic avocados were and not everyone believes they are so I thought I'd pass on this message from a member on another board as a take it or leave it boost to previous information.
