Fraggles ate a ghirardelli chocolate square!

[I_heart_Fraggles]

So I got home and let Fraggles out then went to take a shower. When I came back she was finishing off s ghirardelli dark chocolate square with raspberry filling. She pulled it off the coffee table after my darling husband left them there. She ate most of it and her vet is not in today.

Milk chocolate or dark chocolate? How big?

 

[Pipp]

Okay, looked it up. At least it's not solid chocolate, but it's a problem.

Let me get a link or two from previous cases. You'll probably have to take her in somewhere for treatment.

How long ago? How is she right now?

Its dark chocolate with raspberry filling. Its .53 ounces and she managed to gobble down most of it.

I am trying to find a rabbit savvy vet who will see her now. She ate it about 20 minutes ago. She is playing with a plastic hanger right now.

Dont focus too much on a rabbit "savvy" vet, just a vet that will see a rabbit. The treatment for dogs and cats the eat chocolate is fairly similar to bunnys (except the vomiting) Since we cant make rabbits vomit she may need iv fluids to help flush toxins from her system before they do damage.

We are on our way to a vet now.

I have my blackberry on me so I will update at the vet. The vet said cause it is a good quality dark chocolate that she needs to be seen. I will let everyone know what happens

 

[Anaira]

Oh Fraggles. Finger's crossed for her!

 

[gmas rabbit]

Just as soon as you can Katie, we are all worried about her.

Poor greedy Fraggles!!! Look what trouble you got yourself into this time!! I hope she's ok and no lasting damage ! ray:

I have just texted Katie and she said that I can post updates for her on Fraggles.

Right now they are at the vet and the vet has taken Fraggles and gave her charcoal to absorb the caffeine and has been given IV fluids.

Wow, glad to see everythings happened so quickly.

I think this is a huge wake up call for some of us less informed bunny owners. I for one was not aware of the extreme danger of chocolate. I just thought that it would give them a tummy ache. Prayers for the little girl.

 

[Sweetie]

Thank you Julie. Please everyone pray for Fraggles. It may help her pull through quickly and be okay. I am praying for Fraggles right now.

Please God: help Fraggles pull through this ordeal as she is a very loveable rabbit and is very much loved by her bun parents and everyone here on the forum.
