My bunny ate a puppy pad and isn't eating. What should I do?

Question

My 9 month old bunny ate some of a puppy pad several days ago and now he’s eating very little- seems like he lost his sense of smell. He’s urinating and defecating and drinking water; eating a very small amount of pellets, celery, and papaya, but not like normal. He seems unhappy too. I ordered probiotics for him. What else?

Todd Cecil · Accepted Answer

Thanks for reaching out about your rabbit. An intestinal obstruction, partial or full, should be considered. Might still be defecating due to fecal pellet formation behind the obstruction. Probiotics are not the answer and could be detrimental, as rabbit (herbivore) gut flora is different than dogs (omnivore) and cats (carnivore) and often the probiotics are labelled for all. If he has decreased appetite or seems painful, a veterinary visit is highly recommended. Good luck.
