Help, Bella's poorly

Sabella

New Kit
She had conjunctivitis about 3 months ago which we treated with eye drops. It cleared up and she was fine.

No it looks like she has something similar but a little worse. Her eyes have lots of yellowish crustiness around. She has a snotty nose and is wet all round her mouth as if she been dribbling :(

I'm trying to get her into the vets today but I'm so worried because I know how fast they can deterioate(sp?) :(

Do you think it's something serious?

Hi,

They do deteriorate quickly, but sounds like you're already on top of it so try not to worry to much.

Let us know what the vet says.

Out of interest is Bella still eating and pooing ok?

It sounds like she could have dental problems. Did the vet check her teeth the last time?
Rabbits usually dribble from their mouth when they have spurs on their teeth that have started rubbing on their cheeks or tongue, and infection in the eyes and nose can be caused by tooth roots pushing up into the jaw.
If it is her teeth the vet will be able to burr the spurs off and that will take some of the pressure off the roots as well.

Hope Bella gets on ok at the vets.
