    Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

    We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.

    Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

Ruby's eye

Candiflare

Mama Doe
I got Ralph and Ruby back last night from my parents after I'd been in hospital and I've come down this morning to find one of Ruby's eyes looking glassy and half open. She looks "ill" one side of her face, but the other eye is bright as a button.

I've just looked more closely and it's also watery and gungey.

Is this serious? What should I do?
 
You could try bathing it in cooled boiled water for the weekend and if that doesn't help then pop him to the vets on Monday :)
