Arwen has blocked eye ducts caused by her teeth (has had x-ray). She has had the ducts cleared twice but it doesn't last for long. I inject depocillin twice a week and clean her eyes at the same time.
Yesterday evening one of her eyes was closed and gunked up. I phoned emergency vet and discussed bringing him down but since he wasn't an exotic vet or specialist in eyes (the surgery has both) and was only suggesting fulc...acid I didn't take her down. I bathed ehr eyes in warm salt water til it opened - it does not appear to have anything in it or be damaged. I also gave her metacam in case of pain. Anyone had this with bunnies who have eye duct problesm? What should I do next? The vet I most trust is off til next week and I'm not sure that any other vet could make a differnece anyway. She's on depocillin and metacam already.She was opening her bad eye this morning a bit but it didn't look very good. Advice?
