need help weepy eye

Hi Sharry :wave: One thing that it could be is that your bun may have a blocked teat duct. My rabbit has had this and the symptoms you describe are very similar to what she had. Is there any way at all you can get to a vet? Your bun would need to be checked and, if it is a blocked tear duct, to have treatment. It won't get better on its own. In the meantime, if he lets you, put a compress under his eye (dip a cotton pad into boiled and then cooled water) and gently massage it under his eye to clean the fur and remove some of the gunk from his tear duct.

Alternatively, something may have gotten into his eye. Do you use wood shavings or sawdust at all for litter?

Good luck, really hope your bun's eye gets better :)

Our buck rabbit Jackson was spayed April first . He has now developed conjunctivitis in his left eye.I was advised to bathe it with warm salt water and take him to the vet after Bank Holiday.The eye is closed and looking sore & swollen he will not let us pick him up and because they are quite delicate and he h, we filled a small spray bottle with warm salt water and sprayed 3 x every hour from 10.00am this morning. The water has cleared the eyes.We changed the bedding from Barley hay to wadding and B Hay. He is eating , drinking and dooing.We will be going to the Vet tomorrow morning.
