Coincidence or something i've done. More likely something i've done. I'm trying to think what. I'm pretty sure lucy may have caught it from the nail clippers, then spread it to ama and lily. Now though adonia has it. Blaze and Patch were in the kitchen for a couple of days when giving there meds but penned off from her, so that she couldn't sneeze on them, see them etc, using sheeting on there pens.
I don't see how she has got this except through my hands. I have washed my hands before handling any bunny, but i've started using boots baby handwash as the antibacterial one that i normally do as it's been peeling off the skin on my hands. I did use latex gloves initially, but i stopped that recently.
I can't believe how this has spread- unless its ' coincidence. The only other thing i've changed is diet. I've changed it to more hay, less pellets and more veg. Can this effect eyes?
Oh well another vets trip for adonia- she hates it, poor girl. I am not looking forward to taking her at all, plus she is a pasturella bunny so i'm worried it will effect her condition more if she is ill with something else. Not a happy bunny mummy.
Is there anything that i'm missing here. I think maybe the less pellets have effected teeth wearing down and causing this maybe? But i've asked before about if pellets effect teeth growth, which i would think they do due to the chewing action, but everyone came back with a resounding no on that.
I'm just really worried now, diet is effecting them. I don't want this many bunnies suffering. I had just got this down to two poorly bunnies out of 14, now i have 6. I feel like i've got to be doing something wrong. Anyone know of any contagious eye infections other than pasturella. Could this really be something as simple as conjunctivitis spreading or does it sound more serious?
Thanks everyone,

p.s Could this be a hay irritation? I've been putting alot more hay down lately as bedding.
