Cassidy, my 6 month old,mini lop doe, has developed a problem with her eye.
It is rather strange.
She is basically a house rabbit at the mo due to bad start in life and will be gradually weaned to the outdoors over the next few months.
However, on sunny days she does have a hutch that she spends a couple of hours in a day at the mo.
About 2 weeks ago I noticed her right eye was not opened as much as the other. i have used Brolene drops & ointment but not sure what i am treating her for as there is no discharge, no watering of the eye and no inflammation or redness. The eye just is held slightly closed, about 1/4 less, in relation to other. She has also had antibiotics now for 4days.
I have done a check with a pen light to see reflex and noticed that the right pupil did not react to the light in the same manner as the left. Little reaction at all, really
Not sure what this all means and she doesn't seemed bothered by her lazy eye, but as it has only just started, and was not from birth I am a little concerned.
I have checked her teeth, but from previous experience would expect discharge if this was the cause. Even if she had caught a chill in the eye from being outside would have expected some other symptons.
