got one of a kind rabbit

Brad my agouti french lop rabbit has ingrowing eyelids and has now had his third op and the vet was saying she went on a course for eyes as she really wants to do this, and was saying to the vet who was running the course about him. The vet running the course has been a eye specialist for 20 yrs and has never seen this in a rabbit, so he is now famous.
As he grows he will keep needing his eye stitched, this time a student did it and he has done a neat job but he won't pass any fashion awards
 
Got an excellent opthalmologist in the practice where my vet is a partner.They recently operated on a falconish sort of bird with cataracts.
Id be interested to ask my vets if theyve come across your Brads condition.....Is there a name for it??? How did he get it??? How often does he have to have an op?? Will this be lifelong??? How old is Brad??Got any piccies of the lad????:wave:

Its called ectropion eyelids :wave: I am sure Jill had a rabbit with the same condition which was operated on, or it may have been Amy :?

Eddie's eyelid has partly turned in due to the surgery he had on it but we don;t want to put him through another op. we just have to keep an eye on it to make sure it isn't damaging the surface :)
 
his unfortunately causes ulcers so he has to keep having the ops fingers crossed that it will be a while now, at first his eye was a real mess but now it is doing so well he is 5 months
