find someone with a large python.
Reply:I too have heard that poinsettia plants are poisonous.

I don't know of any cases of animals eating one, but I would certainly not hesitate to call a rabbit knowledgeable vet ASAP.



RESEARCHED UPDATE: NOT POISONOUS!



The ASPCA Animal Poison Center in Urbana, Illinois says it regards poinsettias as having such low toxicity risk that it doesn't even recommend decontaminating animals that may have ingested them. The center says that there can sometimes be gastrointestinal distress from having ingested something alien to the digestive system.



The American Veterinary Medicine Association of America (AVMA), doesn't include poinsettias on its list of plants that are a threat to animals.

Reply:I heard that those were poisonous. I'd keep a close eye on her, and if she seems to be acting differently, like tiredness and such, I'd call a Vet. I don't think she ate enough for it to harm her though.
Reply:The rating of toxicity is lower than what people believed for many years: http://www.vet.purdue.edu/depts/addl/tox... %26amp; http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/p/p...



Most likely, he will just have a little irritation in his mouth. He may have some diarrhea, or worse case scenario an upset stomach, but not die from it.
Reply:Call poison control, or take him to an E.R. Veterinarian.
Reply:get her to the vet right away some are 24hr,the sooner she gets to the vet,the better her chance.
Reply:From what I know they are not poisonous to people or pets. Here is a website that talks about it. http://www.truthorfictoin.com/rumors/p/p...
