Blood shot eye?????

Hi
Wonder if anyone can help. My mini lop has got a blood shot eye. I noticed on Saturday night and although yesterday it has calmed down considerably, i'm thinking maybe a trip to the vets just to be sure he's ok. He doesn't mind us rubbing his cheek under the blood shot eye but he is squinting a little. Anyone have a clue what is up with him.
Thanks

Hiya,

Have a good look and check there is nothing in it, occationally they get a grass seed or bit of hay. He could have scratched it or got an ulcer. A trip to the vet is a good idea, they'll probably give you some antibiotic eye cream which will clear up any infection :)

Yes a trip to the Vet is DEFINATELY needed as if a corneal ulcer develops due to untreated infection it can be very difficult to get it to heal up. The ointment/drops prescribed for eye infections clears the early infection up a treat :D :D Jane and Buns xx
 
There is natural tear eye drop (no preserative) for human, which works well w/ any animals. You should always have some in your home, so in between the time from the moment it happens to the time you ends up in a vet clinic, you can drop some natural tears on her eyes to comfort her.
