Cataracts

Has anyone got experience of older rabbits suddenly developing cataracts?
Molly aged 9 developed a cataract in her left eye very quickly. I took her to the vets 14 days ago and she is being treated with Panacur in case it is EC and also got anti-biotics. I thought then (14 days ago) that her right eye also looked cloudy but the vet assured me it was fine (she shone a light into it). But I am now positive that the right eye is getting cloudier. Other than the eyes she is fine, eating, running around and as lively as normal. If this is simply age related rather than anything else is it usual for it to come on so quickly?
Thanks in advance for any info.
 
my mowgl went like this dad first spotted it in onc eof his eyes our vet said it wasn;t cateracts referred to specialist who said it was, he later developed it in his other eye well a month later, as long as you donlt change there surroundings they manage just fine :wave:
 
Thank you for your replies, been back to the vet and it seems that she does just have old age cataracts. Otherwise is fine x
