Sorry I don't really understand the description? Her blind eye? Do you mean the eye is still there or has been removed? If blind do you mean it is white and cloudy? If it is red and this is a sudden change then I think this would be a cause for concern and she should see the vet asap, can you not get an appointment before this evening?

Is she eating and pooping normally and well in herself generally?
 
sorry iam just worried sick she has one white cloudy eye now its red like blood and shes
in pain when i phoned the vets she said she had no appointments left
today so could i come at 7.15 and wait

When you say she is in pain do you mean she is not eating or moving about? I'm afraid you need to call your vet back and insist on an emergency appointment before then if you think she is in pain. If they will not see you then can you phone another vet nearby? They are obliged to see you if it is an emergency. I would be insisting on an appointment right now. Good luck and try not to worry, there is no reason that this means she needs to be pts until we know what has happened. take care x
 
I agree with prettylupin...this definitely sounds like an emergency.

I wonder if her clouded eye has ruptured or something like that?
 
Sorry, I have only just seen this: how did your bunny get on at the vets?
I would consider having the eye removed if it is badly damaged or likely to cause further problems, assuming your bunny is well otherwise xx
 
update muffys eye is much better its not as red inside :)
i worry for future accidents though :(
her babys will be weaned soon so she will have her cage
to herself
