Rabbit Accidentally Ate Paint - Now Is Green ! :(

[Skye T]

I let my little Himalayan Tofu roam around without realizing stuff on my desk had fallen, next thing I knew he was munching on one of my green oil paints! (They're lead-free and non-toxic)
I picked him up without realizing I had paint stained on my fingers that got on his newly pure white coat we worked so hard to clean urine out of green

My questions:
Will he be okay? I am closely monitoring him and giving him extra greens and pellets to aid in digestion so it will pass.
What can I do about the green paint stains in his coat?

have you tried giving him a bath or used soap on his fur. how did you get the paint off your hands maybe you can do the same with your rabbit

As to the stains, you could leave it until he blows his coat. Since it’s oil based I’d hesitate to use paint thinner on his fur to get it out because rabbits do lick themselves. How big is the stain?

A few pics would help us to understand your problem better. You can let them dry and try to brush out or trim his fur I know it won't look perfect maybe but at least you will know he will not digest any paint. His coat will be perfect again in a couple weeks.

Have you tried oxyclean?
