My lovely 5 yr old bunny Bella developed a runny eye last week so I kept an eye on it and bathed it, two days later her eye was swollen so took her to the vets. I assumed eye infection or maybe grass seed in eye as the grass had got really long in our garden - she's normally an indoor bun so not used to being outside until recently.
The vet examined her and said either tooth root abscess or brain tumor (both much to my horror) and said she needed to come in for anesthetic and X-rays to see what's going on. She's insured with petplan but they won't cover dental and really don't have any money to pay myself so we are waiting for pre-authorization from them.
Thing is whilst we've been waiting, Bella has vastly improved, no more pus in eye and visibly less swollen, she's eating and drinking brilliantly and full of life as ever so I'm really hoping they have it wrong.
Could it simply be an eye infection or do abscesses come and go like this?
