My rabbit ate cheese, pastry, and onion. Should I be worried?

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.

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.

The biggest concern would be that she ate something she shouldn’t have thatcan’t be digested. If so, she may have a blockage or get gastric stasis. Keep a close eye on Mistie over the next day or two. If she stops eating, drinking or pooping, or if she becomes more lethargic than normal you will need to take her to see a vet.

Eating/biting/tasting a tangerine is not harmful to rabbits. I would not be worried about this at all. As for the chocolate, if it was a small piece of chocolate, no harm will come to your rabbit. But if your rabbit was to eat a large amount of chocolate, that is a very serious situation that means an emergency visit to the veterinarian’s office. Hope this answers your question. Best wishes.

It shouldn't kill her, but it may cause stomach upset. Make sure she continues to eat and drink over the next couple days. Offer as much timothy hay, oat hay or similar grasses as she will eat. Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite or loose droppings. If she stops eating, have her seen by your veterinarian right away. Discontinue any treats for the next few days.

Ultimately, there is no consensus on whether or not sugar free gum leads to toxicity in rabbits like it would in a dog. A larger concern would be whether or not you need to be concerned about a potential gastrointestinal obstruction occurring. I would not give her any additional hay, but if you are noting normal appetite, drinking, and bathroom habits this is definitely a great sign. Your choices would be the following at this point: continue to monitor at home for any changes in normal, or take her to the vet where they can administer some fluids / keep her overnight for monitoring. If there is any significant changes in her appetite or bathroom habits in the next few hours, veterinary attention should definitely be sought. Hope this helps.

The digestive system of rabbits moves food through it pretty quick, so if you haven't noticed anything wrong in the past 4 days then Buggy is likely fine. Of course, this cannot be confirmed 100% without a physical exam. Monitor for a decrease or loss of appetite, a decrease or absence of stool production and lethargy. These symptoms should be addressed immediately by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating rabbits. Increase the amount of timothy hay being offered as well as the amount of exercise. Both should help push any remnants of string out of his system.
