Hi
Im not sure if anyone will remember recently my wee sick bunny abby who was at deaths door three weeks ago and got the all clear from the vets yesterday and her weight and everything is on the up and vet very pleased with her although we still dont know what itwas that was wrong.

Anyway the only thing yesterday she was a little concerned with was the fact that her eyes looked a little red but asked me if normally like that i said not really but she said as there was no discharge at all she wasnt concerned and as she was so lively and alright in her self was happy with her but to keep an eye on her obviously.

Well today when we were giving her her panacur i feel her eyes along the sides do look red more red than they were yesterday and wondered if anyone any ideas as to what it could be, we feel that it was possibly e coli or something similar she might have had but vet not really sure could that be anything to do with her eyes being like this

I am going to phone vets tomorrow and if needed take her back just wondered if anyone any ideas id be grateful if you have.

thanks again

I think you mean E Cuniculi rather than E Coli :)

She may have conjuncivitis. Some antibiotic eye drops should sort it out.

E Cuniculi usually effects the lens of the eye rather than the eye lids. This can result in the formation of cataracts and/or uveitis. But your description of Abby's 'red eyelids' does not sound like either condition.

Is Abbie Vaccinated against Myxomatosis ?
