Advice needed ASAP please

[mummybunny]

Hi all,

I am looking for some fast info/advice please.

Yesterday early afternoon Miffy scoffed some leaves of a Dracaena plant(about 6 half leaves) and a few mouthfuls of a bit of a Peace Lillyleaf.

I had STUPIDLY leaft these plants within reach.

This morning she seems uninterested in eating her breakfast. She is notteeth crunching or appearing to be in pain but she is not tempted byanything I give her.

Should I take her to the vet? How toxic are these plants? Has she eaten enough to do damage?

Please help ASAP

Thank you so much

Dracena isnt thatthe tall spikey leaved , tree type plant, Or are you talking aboutthe one called Dumb Cane , Itend to get them confused unless I see them ,

Dumb Cane isnt so muchtoxic as it is sharp, my meaning is they have sharpcrystals that form in the juicepart of a plant similar to Pointsettia's,

I am not aware of the Spikeytree type leaves as being toxic butif in doubt Iwould Ring the Vet and ask ., betterto ask and know thennot ask and have something bad happen.

The only thing I can really suggest here is calling the vet to ask about it. I think that would be best.

Poisoning:"Activated charcoal is used orally toprevent the absorption of various toxins (e.g. insecticides, aspirinoverdose) from the stomach and intestines. It must be given soon afterthe ingestion of the toxin/poison. It is not an antidote and othersupportive care and medications may be needed for the treatment of thepoisoning."

Thank you everyone, Miffy is just fine.

I called the vet and we took her in. Typically she started munchinggrass and did a pee inher box on the way to the vet.

He gave her an antibiotic jab and a multivitamin jab, took hertemperature and examined her abdomen. We are just to keep an eye onher. She very quickly gained her appetite back and did lots ofdroppings. She's been totally fine since. THANK GOD.

It was terrifying to think she could have been harmed cause I left 2plants in her reach. I should have known better. I will definetlyresearch plants too see if they are suitable to be around buns infuture, in fact, even better - make sure thay are ALL out of reach.

I'm glad I didn't learn the hard way.

PLEASE KEEP YOUR PLANTS OUT OF REACH OF YOUR BUNS. I had no idea somany were toxic to our wee furkids until this happened and I begansearching the net. It's really scary. Thank you again for your prayersand advice.
