Runny eye

Piper had a mildly runny eye yesterday so I bathed it. Today it looks fine. Should I bathe it again just to be sure or just leave it alone? He is fine in all other respects. What can a runny eye be a sign of - is it likely just to be a slight eye infection or could it be something worse?

Thanks

It was funny after I bathed his eye - he stormed off in a huff and shoved his head under Molly's chin to be groomed. She started grooming his head which was a little wet from being bathed in salty water. She looked very confused and then started grooming his back instead. :lol:
 
Just bathe it when it's runny I think. It could be a sign of a tooth problem. The roots sometimes gro upand can push on the tear ducts.
We've been having this problem with Squidgy recently. Bless 'em!
 
..

we took our bunnie tigger to the vets with a bad eye , and the vets said that she would give her eye drops, and it helped for a little while, and then one day i was looking it up on google and it said * rabbits will allways have runny eyes, due to the dusty hay* but if your bunniedoent normaly have a runny eye then get some drops fom the vets or bye some * eye balm* from ur pet shop if they have it. xxx good luck,.. and yes do keep her/his eye clean by baything it xxx
 
oh!! and! she/he might have an eye ulcer , u would not no she had one unless her eye was runny and frm the side here eye looks sort of blue, xxxx and it is treaterble because one of ma bunnies had one once x all the vet does it put a colour drop in there eye and gets a ear-bud, and cleans the eye and it will make the ulcer go a clolour to show there is one there. xx and then they treat it, good luck.
