Avocado leaves are poisonous to many mammals. Horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and rabbits can all suffer damage to the mammary glands and heart from eating avocado leaves.

The toxic compound is believed to be persin, which has the IUPAC name of: (R, 12E,15E)-2-Hydroxy-4-oxohenicosa-12,15-dienyl acetate.

My rabbit died this afternoon a few days after eating a small quantity of avocado leaves and bark. He may have eaten one leaf.
