HELP

there was a tube of paint on the ground(non toxic) and I wasnt paying attention and my bunny ate the paint!!! its nontoxic and my parents think he will be ok but I am not sure is he going to be ok?

[Elrohwen]

What type of paint is it? Water soluble? Latex?

Watch him carefully to make sure he continues to eat and poop. If he stops doing either, I would take him to the vet. If he continues to eat and poop for the next 24 hours, he’ll be ok.

when in doubt call the vet or poison control.

Any update on your bunny?

Any update?

That doesn’t sound good. He ate the whole tube? I would call your local emergency vet and let them know what happened and ask them as I am sure they have seen their fair share of all the crazy things that animals have digested.

Here is important information from a previous post with an emergency:

Call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center

The telephone number is (888) 426-4435. There is a $55 consultation fee for this service.

Be ready with the following information:
– the species, breed, age, sex, weight and number of animals involved
– the animal’s symptoms
– information regarding the exposure, including the agent (if known), the amount of the agent involved and the time elapsed since the time of exposure.

Have the product container/packaging available for reference.

REMEMBER: Bunnies cannot vomit like a cat or dog to get the poison out so it is really, really important to consult a vet ASAP as they have treatments available. Most likely fluids will be administered, depending on what the properties are of the ingested product to flush their system.

Here is another # I do not know if they charge a fee:

National Animal Poison Control
Center 1-800-548-2423

I would still call the emergency vet today and see what they say, and possibly take your bunny in. How much was consumed? Let them know.
