About STARFRUIT
Starfruit, also known as carambola, is a tropical fruit typically found in Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, and parts of Latin America. It is not safe for pets, particularly cats and dogs. Starfruit contains oxalic acid, which can cause acute kidney failure in these animals. Symptoms of starfruit toxicity in pets may include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and in severe cases, kidney damage. It is advised to keep starfruit out of reach of pets to avoid accidental ingestion and potential health complications.
