Can anyone recommend any articles or threads please on blindness in buns -? I can never seem to use the search on here
Hi Jane,
I 'rescued' a little bun 2 days ago (not posted about her yet) she has 2 white patches on her eyes (cataracts?) we visited the vet yesterday who said she was in great shape considering her background - she seems happy and spritely - I just want to learn more about her condition, get any advice etc so that I can do my best for her. There is a chance I might find out more about her background but previous owners are not saying much as yet. i think she was born that way and she is approx 4 - 6 months old and a cashmere lop
I have a blind rabbit if i can be of assistance?
Summer lost one eye to EC and is entirely blind in the remaining eye. She is also brain damaged due to EC. She is a happy wee soul, i cant say i have made any major changes for her, but she has two very caring bunny friends to help her out. I do make sure i speak more to her, if i wish to pick her up i say "pick up's" or "down we go" so she knows whats going to happen, and i rattle her food for her to come over for it. Apart from that, she just muddles about in her own wee Summer world.
Summer looks 'squashy' and gorgeous like my Bramble. Thanks for your advice - if all goes well I would like to think I may be able to bond Sweetpea with some pals, but it's early days and I need to get to know her a lot more first x
Do they look like this:
The image shows lens rupture and cataract due to EC infection.
Sue - I have a photo on my phone of Homer's eye which the vet says is cataract, I can show you on Sat.
