Oliver may have eaten beads from a stuffed animal

[paulapoo]

While sitting right in front of me, Oliver was playing with his stuffed amputee rabbit. I looked down a few minutes later and there were little beads all over the rug. He usually doesn't eat things he chews on, and I didn't see him eating any of them, but does anyone think they are dangerous. They were in a little pouch that he must've gotten out of the center of the bunny to make it squishy. I probably should've put this in the health thread but I figured I'd get fast answers here, sorry. He was sitting right in front of me on the floor, I can't believe I didn't notice he had gotten the bag out.

is he acting okay??

Do you mean from a beanie baby or something like that? Does he seem okay?

it's a stuffed animal rabbitt, it's the only toy he has that's not a dogs toy. I don't think he ate any, he's acting fine. Mommy's stupid fault, i just thought it was stuffed, I had no idea there was a pouch of beads in it. Just freaked me out because I though of those silicone beads that are packed in some things. He's acting normal. I just went into paranoia paula mode.

Read the tag ,maybe it will tell you what was inside. Here is a Pet Poison Hotline -free- 1-785-532-5679

Maybe he didn't have time to eat any before you saw him. I'd just watch him closely and see how he acts. I hope he's okay!!!

Thanks guys, I'm gonna call. Unfortunately the tag is long gone, bunny has been around for a long time. I think he'll be fine, but I'll probably stare at him all nite.

I'd probably be the same way! That, and walking around collecting poop! I called the poison hotline after my Edgar ate an ant trap. It's worth the piece of mind to call. I hope he's ok!!!

They usually poop on potty pads, so it'll be easy to see if he did eat some!!

How about an update on my lil buddy?

How's Oliver this morning? Maybe give your vet a call just to see what they say....peace of mind for you as well.

Sounds like that is one loved bunny! Is there anyway that it could be sewn back with a squeaker added?

Hope he's okay!!

Thanks for asking! Ollie is great this morning. His little silly self. He ate a good breakfast and was playing when I left for work. You can bet I'll be more careful in the future, only doggie toys for my boys.

I have toys that aren't doggy toys, but I buy baby rattles and stuffed baby toys. I then know if it's safe for a baby it should be ok for them and I keep an eye out for tears in them.

I never buy beenie babies for them. If I can feel beans. I skip it for my furkids.

They like the stuffed rattles most because they make noise when you shake them. You can pick them up a yard sales for a few cents and their usually washable.
