thanks for reaching out about Billie Jean. Apple seeds can contain a cyanide-like compound. Unfortunately it is not possible to make rabbits regurgitate, so a veterinary visit would consist of a gastric lavage. Monitoring food and water intake, maintaining high fiber intake can stimulate gastro-intestinal passage. Good luck.
