  Hi everyone. I am currently on vacation and I think I got some type of food poisoning- about 12 hours after dinner I had horrible stomach cramps, diarrhea and vomiting. I know that there are many things that could cause this, but i’m concerned that it could be due to salmonella. I am going home in 2 days and will see my bunny and I am concerned that I could give him salmonella if that is what’s causing my symptoms. Does anybody know if it is possible/common for a rabbit to contract salmonella from their owner or if salmonella is common in rabbits? Thanks in advance!

  It’s not common for buns to contract salmonella from their buns. Rabbits seem more resistant to salmonella than humans. If you wash your hands plus abstain from actually kissing your bun until you feel well again, I’d say the risk of your bun catching salmonella from you is very, very low.
