Vomiting

Vomiting is defined as the forceful ejection of the stomach contents up the esophagus and through the mouth.

Due to a very tight sphincter in their esophagus and the position of their stomach, it is impossible for rabbits to vomit. As a result, there is no reason for rabbits to be fasted before a surgery.

However, rabbits can very rarely regurgitate fluid or partially ingested material that has never reached the stomach.
