Aloe vera

Anyone know if it's safe to use with bunnies?

I am struggling to manage with my bunnies' delicate tummies (inflammation from EC), and am trying to find a long term solution here. Aloe vera is certainly very good for human digestive systems, and I have some animal aloe vera gel here. I also have some aloe vera juice that I take myself when my stomach plays up.

Not about to try to take some mad risk here, but I do wonder if it's a possibility...
 
I have tried a minute amount of aloe vera with Clover tonight. I am getting really desperate with her. :(
 
Well aloe vera isn't poisonous at least. I have a plant, and used it once today as Sasuke's got sore feet:cry: So I rubbed his scars with aloe vera (do that a lot on my own scars). A while later I spotted him licking his feet:roll:
 
I bought the book I mentioned earlier in the thread - I didn't just try it without checking! ;)
 
OK I am really confused now. I am seriously getting desperate with my 2 bunnies' tummies, and was getting ready to try Aloe Vera, as per the book. But I just Googled out of interest, and came up with a couple of sites saying that it was poisonous for bunnies! Time to hit my head against a wall I think. :? :(
