  Can you call your vet? There’s some info here as well as poison control phone number http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/toxic-and-non-toxic-plants/avocado
  rabbits and birds are especially sensitive-so it might be diligent to get a hold of your vet and ensure you know what if anything you can do and/or what to watch for.

  The poison is called persin and the amount varies between types of avocados and rabbits’ sensitivity to the poison can also vary between indviduals. I’m sorry to say that my bunny Bam has had avocado on at least two occasions, probably more, tiny pieces, and he’s never showed any signs of illness/poisoning – but I wasn’t looking for any. Had he been sick I would’ve noticed though because I always keep a close eye. That he’s not had a bad reaction was sheer luck I now realize, since avocado can be very bad for bunnies and birds, and I of course deeply regret having been so stupid and ignorant.
  
  FaeBun, we’d be very happy for updates about your bunny.
