Tuesday night I saw a Holland Lop that nibbled a houseplant; unlike dogs, rabbits physically can’t vomit because of their powerful cardiac sphincter and stomach anatomy, so emetics are out and species-specific decontamination with gentle supportive care protects welfare. Trivia for you: name two other mammals that can’t vomit, and one way that changes your poisoning protocol in practice.
But horses and guinea pigs can’t vomit either, and , that means after a houseplant nibble like your Tuesday-night lop I skip emetics and go straight to species-appropriate decontamination, fluids, and close GI motility checks — ‘emetics are out’ is so key. Quick tip: I keep Oxbow Critical Care to start gentle feeding early and never reach for peroxide or salt; APCC is my sanity check: ASPCA Poison Control | (888) 426-4435 | ASPCA. @OP do you ever use simethicone when gas is the first sign?
