I had a wooden carrot hanging on the side of my rabbits cage but it got in her way so I just sit in on the ground in her cage. Today I noticed a part of the plastic that it hung by was biten off. Quickly I opened her cage and searched all over but it was nowhere to be found. I next assumed she swallowed it. What happens if a rabbit swallows plastic?

It wasn't big but it wasn't small. She's quite the chewer so I'm guessing if anything she chew it into small pieces. It was more hard.

Try this. Give your bunny a liquid vitamin E capsule. Prick a hole and squeeze it into it's mouth. It might help it clear its way out. Or if you have Felaxin around the house use that. If your rabbit shows signs of illiness take it to the vet IMMEDIATELY!
I hope I've helped you. :D

Hi!
We had three rex rabbits...our strongest, most lively girl got a blockage in her stomach and could not clear it herself or with medication from the vet. We had to put her down. The vet could not tell what the blockage was on x-ray. I just tell you this because it could be bad news. Our vet suggested we offer lots of good hay at all times for roughage. (to help move things along)

Was it a big or small piece, hard or soft...if it was simply soft, hopefully it will just pass through...if it was large or hard though, you may want to take her to vet to make sure everything's ok.

I think it will be ok. I'm thinking if it wasn't sharp, it'll just come out...um..on it's own. :o) Good Luck!
