Young Bun
My house bunny Roxy is coming up 4 years old and for the past couple of weeks she's had a slight watery right eye. She doesn't have any other symptoms, no sneezing, runny nose etc and her other eye is completely fine. I took her to the vet a week gone Friday, my usual rabbit savvy vet was on holiday so I saw another vet who prescribed Isathal for 7-10 days. She put orange dye in her eye and said there was no ulcer or signs of trauma so presumed it was an infection. Today is the 10th day of using Isathal however her eye still waters from time to time . It isn't running constantly...sometimes I look at her and it looks fine and can go a few hours without watering but I'm beginning to wonder if it's maybe a tooth root or tear duct problem. Having spent a lot of time with them over the weekend I've noticed that it seems to water more after she's been preening herself...she's quite a meticulous preener and it's when she's been stretching round to clean her back that it seems to water more...I was wondering if this is causing pressure on her tear duct or something? It doesn't seem to be bothering her, she's happy and playful and has a healthy appetite and she has an attentive husbunny who grooms her so cleans her fur if it's wet.
I'm going to phone up tomorrow and make an appointment with my vet Honor Etherington but just wondered if anyone else had come across this before?
