Hi all,
Does anyone have experience of eye problems and can offer advice please?
Our 12 week old french lop has had a sore looking eye for a couple of days. It is clear / white discharge which dries up quickly. Other eye seems fine. At first I thought it may be an allergy so changed bedding type, ensured hay is not dusty and stale etc and change his litter tray twice a day which has all helped. It's not consistently sore / wet, worse in morning and upto last night, I thought it had gone completely. He's indoors becuase of the cold weather at the moment so I'm conscious of not using any household sprays or cleaners in his vicinity as well.
I've had expereince of tear duct blockages and tooth related eye problems and it doesn't look similar at all. Consulted various books and most likely causes are conjunctivitis (maybe allergy related) scratched cornea, foreign object (can't see anything) or infection of some sort....?
He's going to the vets at 5pm today but I just wanted any available advice
from anyone more knowledgeable than me!
Thanks,
Helen (& Dougal!)
