Smokey's Eye

[kerina]

OH and I went out to feed the buns last night, and I noticed that Smokeys left eye was closed. We brought him in and I put some of my contact lens solution on a cotton wall pad and wiped the eye. There was a dirty mark on the cotton wool where I had done it and few gritty bits.

As soon as I had done this, the eye was open and (seemed) fine again.

I went out to feed them this morning and brought him in again for another eye check and it looks as though there was never anything wrong with it - wide open and clear! I wiped it again anyway.

Obviously I will keep my eye (sorry about the pun) on this, but does anyone have any idea what this could have been and could it be the start of long term problems?

Should I take him to the vet for a checkup regardless?? He is eating fine and pooing/weeing fine.

He is currently at the end of his 5th week of a panacur course for suspected EC infection (although he has never shown any symptoms, it was just a precaution).

Thanks

If He's An Outdoor Bunny Its Just Dirt...

If its clear and free from discharge/swelling/redness then keep an eye on it, most likely it was irritated by a foreign body but there are numerous other causes of eye inflammation which do need veterinary interevention.
