hey, i have recently noticed that my rabbits eyes where rather red. this redness has disappeared but he seems to have them half closed most of the time. over the last couple of days the fur round one of his eyes has started to go thinner and have noticed a white substance has come out of his eyes.

was wondering if anybody had come across this before as im not sure what it is and would like to sort it out if it is an infection or worse.

any help would be grateful thanks
 
You need to take your Rabbit to a Vet tomorrow.

It sounds as though he has conjunctivitis which needs treatment with antibiotic eye drops/ointment.

Its very important to seek prompt treatment as untreated eye infections can lead to serious complications.

It would also be a good idea for your Vet to give your Rabbit a thorough check-up as eye infections can occur when there are other health problems going on too, often related to Dental issues.
