Hesperus
Warren Veteran
This morning I noticed Ludo had a sore eye and on closer inspection he'd got a bit of hay sticking out of the corner. We cleaned around the eye and tried to remove the hay but couldn't. As I started to Google the vet number, Ludo scratched his eye and a long bit of gunky hay came out!
He's now normal, not scratching it etc and is in his hay box eating, but I'm not sure whether to keep the eye clean as I would my own, or to take him to the vet? What are the signs of an eye infection?
My previous bunny had an eyelid problem and had infections all the time, we used to bathe around his eye with boiled water and take him for antibiotics when needed, but as he always had bad eyes I'm not sure what to do with a healthy bunny eye!!
Getting an appointment won't be a problem so as it stands now I've decided to wait until this afternoon and take him then or this evening if there's no improvement.
