she ate about a good half of it and i am scared i am going there now and i will see what i can do

 

[Mr. Stee]

Oh my:shock:, that could cause some GIproblems. The vet I think is definitely needed if she atethat much of it. I hope she passes it safely.Please keep us posted on how she and you are doing, what the vet saidto do, and any questions/problems you are having.

Don't mess with it. Rubber doesn't digest. Best to go to the vet.

No, it is a thick strap of black rubber (aboutan inch by a quarter to half inch thick) with two metal hooks at eachend. Usually these are used to strap down tarps or stuff tocars and such, but it can also be used to keep tension on anything thatmay need it.

*edit* I should keep track of how often we do this. Wrong account, this is James.

 

[Mr. Stee]

Samantha, please tell us how your bunny isdoing. What did the vet say (did you get a hold ofhim?) We are worried for your bunny. Info please.

As everyone else has said here rubber is not "bunny friendly" Iactually just today had some rubber backed mats in Bindys house that Ihad to remove after seeing her chewing on them and eating the rubber,out they came straight away, luckily we were watching her the wholetime she did this.

I hope all is ok with you and your bun.

 

[samanthawilliams]

The vet gave her some antibiotics and hopefully it should pass
i dont know since i have put her on antibiotes she has been looking a lot better.
I will keep u all posted.

I hope everything goes all well. Sending thoughts and prayers to your bun
