Answer 4

The only thing you can do right now is to calm down and see what happens. If your rabbit starts showing symptoms of a blockage (gut stasis), you'll know - hunching in pain, loud tooth-grinding, loss of appetite. However, I wouldn't worry too much, usually rabbits chew plastic bags in tiny pieces before actually swallowing it, so she probably ate a lot less than you suspect. Try feeding her some timothy hay and greens, and if her appetite has not changed, she's fine:)

Answer 5

She'll probably be alright but if she chewed off a pretty good cunk (larger than a quarter) it could cause a blockage..

Please do this, do you have any mineral oil on hand ? If not, plain old vegetable oil will be almost as good..

Please take a surrenge or some such and force like half an ounce of oil down her throat..If she's ingested a large piece, this will ease it through...It will probably give her the runs for the day, but it'll be worth it..

Please keep a very close eye...If she doesn't want to eat or her abdomen gets larger, GET HER TO THE VET ASAP !

I'm sure it'll be alright, but keep a close eye, o.k. ?

Answer 6

yea she should be alright, if it was only a little bit...... make sure she is eating plenty of hay to help pass it through.

Answer 7

more then likely, if she had eaten a lot I would worry but a little shouldn't hurt her, she will probably throw it up or it will go through her system. if she starts acting weird take her to the vet.
