I'm worried about my bun Austin. About 2 days ago he had a bit of a watery eye. I wasn't too worried as he has had it before (usually because he has got something in it as a result of sticking his head somewhere...). Usually, a bit of a bathe and a day or 2 later and it's all better. Not this time. This morning when I went bathe it, it seemed a bit different, this evening as I bathed it the hair around his eyes just came away so he now has little bald rings around each eye. The discharge itself is now more like white goo rather than just watery.
I gave him his fresh veg this evening and he started munching immediatly so I thought - well at least he is eating. Panic began to set in as on a close listen, he appears to have developed a bit of a 'wheeze' to his breathing. I'm going to ring the vet first thing in the morning but would appreciate any advice - could it be snuffles? My Austin is 10 and a half and apart from a case of flystrike (caught very very early so he made a full recovery) he has never been to the vet before as he has always been really healthy - which is why I am so worried.
He has been his usual self up until this evening - he had the opportunity to run free around the garden and he usually takes this time to run around and torment the dog - but this evening he just wanted a cuddle...
I know I am not going to sleep tonight...
