    Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.

    You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

    We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.

    Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

Thought I should inform you all that Billy's eye is looking so much better, I was watching him wash his face last night and noticed something hanging off of his left paw. After close inspection I realised it was a sort of gunky/gritty/dusty bit of I guess either grass or hay, I was no bigger than a pin head, but after rushing inside to get together some diluted saline solution, his eye was looking better almost instantly, it was brighter and not as red. I washed it and left him for the night.

After sorting him out this morning, he looked so sparky and nearly bowled me over when I opened the hutch door.
I'm still keeping him under close supervision for the next few days just to be sure, I guess we just have to let them deal with it themselves sometimes.

So happy! :D x
