Dusty had his erm "bits" off yesterday, :shock: was fine when I left him in the morning (I did a general health check before he went, bum, eyes ears etc) but when I got home (my mum collected him from the vets for me) his eyes were weeping.

There was no pus or anything, but the discharge was just like sticky water. (Sorry for the bad discription) His eyes didn't look red but there was the water on his fur and in the corners of his eyes :?

I bathed his eyes last night just with some water to get the stuff off his fur and there isn't any this morning. His eyes look fine just as normal!

He seems fine in himself, has done lots of poohs, big wee in his indoor hutch (wanted to keep an eye on him) and a BIG wee on the mat by the back door when I let him roam free in the kitchen this morning :roll:

I was wondering if anyone else had encounted this? Could it be something to do with the general he had??

Going to ring the vets on my dinner to ask if they can shed any light on it but wanted an opinion from you guys too! :D
 
My bunny had funny eyes after his neuter. My boyfriend suggested that they may have been keeping his eyes moist with drops while he was under the GA? Or maybe they tape their eyes shut and have to remove the tape with some kind of chemical which is a bit greasy? His eyes themselves were fine, just the fur around them was wet-looking and greasy for a few days after. Glad your bunny is recovering well :)
 
i asked that same ? to my vet this am as i had noticed my buns eyes wet after her spaying 2weeks ago he said it was to do with the sedation as their eyes are closed tightly they tend to dry so when they open again they produce more liquid causing them to weep.
 
Thanks for your replies, I phoned the vets and they said it was drops they put in to keep the eyes moist!! :D

Clever boyfriend!!!

Feel silly for being so worried now :oops: was paranoid with all the myxi going round, thought I'd sent him for castration and he'd come back with that, felt sooooooo guilty. Can't wait to get home and see him, he was so good about taking the fibre medicine they gave me, he was just eating it where the girls tried to spit it out!!! :roll:
