Please Note - Medical Advice
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.

Yes, especially as he has had it for several days and he has already been unwell in other ways. There is a slight chance that the eye lesion might be related to a reaction to his recent Nobivac Myxo -RHD Vaccine.
They actually didn't tell me whether they had that injection or not. But we paid on arrival i told the guy what injection i wanted him to have and he said okay, went out the room came back in and said oh we don't do that one...

'' In very rare cases the appearance of mild clinical signs of myxomatosis may occur within 3 weeks of vaccination. Recent or latent infection with field myxoma virus seems to play a role in this to a certain extent.''

It could be that all of his recent malaise was triggered by a rare vaccine reaction ,but only a thorough examination by a Rabbit Savvy Vet will confirm that.
If the Rabbit Savvy Vet feels a vaccine reaction is possible then the incident needs to be reported to the VMD
