My bunny has running sticky eyes and would appreciate any suggestions
He is a rescue bunny which i got when he was about 6 months old he is now 2 years old but has always had problems with his eyes.
At first it was just one eye then both. The vets gave me some eye drops as she thought it was conjunctivitis and it seem to clear up a little (about 1 year ago).
I recently moved back to my parents which seemed to really upset him and resulted in him stopping eating after a worried trip to the vets we established that his back teeth were a little overgrown and although that wasnt the reason for him not eating he had them cut down, i hoped that this would resolve the eye problem but it seems worse than ever. His eyes dont appear sore or red and it is a white coloured stick substance which is coming out.
Can rabbits get Hayfever??? or could it be a bad case of conjunctivitis?
My other bunny cleans them all the time for him which could be making it worse but normally her cleaning them tends to make it a little better but only for a few hours.
He was an indoor only bunny but now is outside (they are in a hutch but get to run out in a huge garden up to 2 hours a day and are eating my parents plants and grass which isnt going down very well!!!) so could this change be a factor?
Any help or advice would be gratefully received
