Question
I have a French angora and she has eaten some leaves- I know she has eaten oak leaves- unsure if has eaten red maple, but has eaten some maple also, she is eating hay and drinking water byt has stopped eating her regular dry food. I think she may be poisoned by leaves- is there a home remedy- until I can get her to the vet?

Answer
Unless the leaves have been sprayed with something, I don't seen an issue, but check this list out to make sure she hasn't eaten anything on it - http://www.rabbit.org/chapters/san-diego/health/poisonous.html

As long as you get her to a vet within 24 hours of her stopping eating, you should be ok.  You could try grinding up some pellets and mixing them with water to see if she would take those, or baby food banana or carrot if you have it.

But check out the list first, it's fairly comprehensive.
