My Rabbit Just ate a poinsettia leaf what should I do?

Question

she weights 4 pounds and is 1 1/2 years old she ate about half of the leaf. Please help fast, I heard that they where poisens.

Answer 1

find someone with a large python.

Answer 2

I too have heard that poinsettia plants are poisonous.
I don't know of any cases of animals eating one, but I would certainly not hesitate to call a rabbit knowledgeable vet ASAP.

RESEARCHED UPDATE: NOT POISONOUS!

The ASPCA Animal Poison Center in Urbana, Illinois says it regards poinsettias as having such low toxicity risk that it doesn't even recommend decontaminating animals that may have ingested them. The center says that there can sometimes be gastrointestinal distress from having ingested something alien to the digestive system.

The American Veterinary Medicine Association of America (AVMA), doesn't include poinsettias on its list of plants that are a threat to animals.

Answer 3

The rating of toxicity is lower than what people believed for many years: http://www.vet.purdue.edu/depts/addl/toxic/plant08.htm & http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/p/poinsettias.htm

Most likely, he will just have a little irritation in his mouth. He may have some diarrhea, or worse case scenario an upset stomach, but not die from it.

Answer 4

I heard that those were poisonous. I'd keep a close eye on her, and if she seems to be acting differently, like tiredness and such, I'd call a Vet. I don't think she ate enough for it to harm her though.

Answer 5

Call poison control, or take him to an E.R. Veterinarian.

Answer 6

From what I know they are not poisonous to people or pets. Here is a website that talks about it. http://www.truthorfictoin.com/rumors/p/poinsettias.htm
