I haven’t been here in a few days and now it’s for something bizarre- hopefully I’m worrying needlessly here. BunBun managed to get ahold of one of my June McKenna santa figurines and gnawed on it a bit. There’s only a tiny bit missing off the santa- I’m trying to think of how to describe the amount- maybe an 1/8 teaspoon at most, if I gathered everything he chipped off together (but of course it’s gone since he seems to have swallowed it). Mainly he got the paint- which is hopefully nontoxic. What’s got me freaking out is that I read online just now that resin dust is highly toxic- so I’m wondering about resin ingested? All I know is that the figurine is made of resin, according to a website selling one.
He seems fine and it’s been over an hour now. He’s eaten papaya, parsley and now he’s working on his hay. I checked his teeth, btw, cuz those figurines are HARD- who would imagine them being appealing to chew on?? His teeth are perfectly intact. Of course it’s nighttime so I can’t call my vet. I’m pretty sure this is fine, given that Bun has eaten other weird things and not suffered any ill effects. I guess I’m just checking on here to see if anyone has had a similar experience (!) or if anyone knows that ingesting a tiny amount of resin is truly an emergency. I’m thinking that unless I hear otherwise, I will just watch Bun for the rest of the night, which I do anyway, and keep him eating/drinking. What do you all think?
