Popcorn kernels

[Anne Davidson]

Hi folks, I've allowed my bun to eat a few popcorn kernels. I didn't realize it was bad for her It's about 12 hours since she ate them. She's eating and pooping ok just now and she seems bright enough. Do you think she will be ok?

Most likely she'll be fine if it was just a few and she doesn't have any current digestive problems. But do continue to keep an eye on her eating, drinking, and pooping for the next day or two, to make sure everything is normal. Also it's good to make sure she's eating her hay really well, and I would reduce or remove any high carb/sugary treats for the next few days. If she stops eating, has true runny diarrhea(different than mushy cecotropes where the fecal balls are still normal), or you become concerned about her condition or how she's doing, then it's best to consult with a knowledgeable rabbit vet.

Thanks for the reply. I will do poo picking for the next couple of days and see how she's behaving. Apologies for the double post. It was accidental.
