    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions.

I'm new, i've signed up just to get an answer to my problem so please help.

My rabbit is an 8 week old Netherland Dwarf that i brought home a few days ago, I had her out and forgot to put my mum's Chrysanthemums on the table out the way and she took a tiny little nibble of the leaf before i pulled her away.

Will she be ok or will this hurt her at all? It's 9pm so the vet isn't open and i really don't want to lose her.
 
Am not 100% sure hun but i just googled it and it says chrysanthemums are poisionous to rabbits to be on the safe side ring the emergency vet and get some advice hun :)
 
Yeah i read that too, but what it doesn't say is whether thats the leaves or the flower or the whole thing, i think i will call the emergency vet but i'd like to hear some more comments if that's ok, i don't want to take up the vet's time if it's nothing when they could be helping a more important matter.

Even if my Bunny is important to me doesn't mean there aren't worse cases out there
 
was it only a tiny amount? Hmmmm I'm unsure. Is she an indoor or outdoor bun? I'm undecided as to wether you keep a very close eye on her and take her to vet immediatly if she goes off food or appears unwell, ir wether you just call now and get the advice from a vet :?
 
well i checked the leaf and it only has a tiny spot missing on the end about needle-eye sized. She is an outdoor rabbit but comes inside to play unless the weather is nice, which it hasn't been lol.

I've been going out to her hutch every now and then and the vet isn't picking up.
 
How is bun today? Wouldve thought if just a needle sized bit that not much n hopefully will be ok -Sue:wave:
 
She's ok, i have her in my lap while i type lol, she ate and drank this morning and had some hay too and my vet told me to describe how much she'd eaten so i did, and he said a 'taste' like that wouldn't hurt her but if she doesn't eat or drink and started frothing at the mouth i should bring her in

but none of that has happened so far and it's the next morning so perhaps she's fine? Will any of the symptoms show still or can i relax now?
 
Hi:wave: Welcome to the forum. I'm so glad to hear that your bun is fine. Well done to you for being so vigilant and asking for advice.:):)
 
:D:DIf you've any piccies of your little bunster, why not nip along to the photos and stories section and post them up. We love to see each other's bunnies.:lol::lol:
 
Ah, is your bunny Molly? If so she looks gorgeous in the pics - so glad she's fine after being a norty bun :no:
