My rabbit ate a begonia leaf. Are begonias toxic? What should I do?

Thanks for reaching out about Samson and including a photo. Stems and roots are much more toxic than flowers. A veterinary visit can provide a gastric lavage (flush) but you can not induce vomiting in rabbits. Monitor appetite and water intake. Good luck.

Lucky bamboo, or draecana, is toxic to rabbits (as well as to cats and dogs). Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite, ataxia (wobbly gait) and loose stool. If Luna arte a large quantity, have her seen by your veterinarian. Rabbits are unable to vomit, so supportive care may be indicated if she becomes symptomatic.

I would just monitor for gastrointestinal upset. Usually these are not toxic but can cause soft stool. In rabbits soft stool can be considered an emergency. Rabbits eat a part of their feces to help them digest food. If Alpha develops diarrhea I recommend taking him to a vet for an exam.

Ideally, Roger should be physically examined by your veterinarian or at the nearest veterinary ER. While the flesh and seed are most toxic, the leaves and stem can be toxic if enough is ingested. Supportive care may be indicated. Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite, abdominal pain or difficulty breathing. The toxin (persin) in an avocado can cause heart damage, so Roger will need to be monitored closely for the next several days.

Thanks for reaching out about Boston Bunnelby. Onions toxicity can cause some blood problems in many species. Unfortunately it is not possible to make rabbits regurgitate, so treatment should be aimed at preventing absorption and maintaining renal function. A veterinary visit is recommended now for the administration of activated charcoal and intravenous fluids. Waiting until clinical signs appears could be very serious. Good luck.

Hello. First, take away any access to these plants. Then call the ASPCA poison control hotline so you can discuss exactly what your rabbit may have ingested & they can tell you exactly what to do. The number is 888-426-4435. Otherwise, please see your veterinarian for specific remedies. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

A one time ingestion of a tiny amount should cause no major harm. You may see some stomach upset or a temporary slight decrease in appetite. More dangerous would be an ingestion of a large amount or multiple ingestions of small amounts over a long period of time.
