Lilac weepy eye

[Orenoko]

Lilac developed a weepy eye yesterday, I couldn't get her to the vet today because of work, but she's all booked in tomorrow morning.

She's had a blocked tear duct before, although I can't remember if it was in the same eye or not. It doesn't seem to be bothering her at all, she's not rubbing at it or anything so that's positive. She doesn't let me near her to check it out to see if there's anything in it so I will have to leave that task for the vet! Hopefully nothing major.

Hope the Vet can sort her eye out for her x

Thank you! She hates being handled so it will be traumatic and she won't be happy with me but needs must!

A weepy eye can be caused by tooth roots and may have to be "managed" as there is no cure. But best wait to see what the Vet says.

Yeah she does have a very smooshy face so I do always fear the worst but we'll see what the vet says. She's 6 or 7, has had one dental to my knowledge about 3 years ago so I'm hoping it's not serious but will wait for the expert opinion.

Sending vibes just needs a flush to clear buildup.

We're just back from the vets, they think she has conjunctivitis, they couldn't find any teeth issues so she has drops and we'll see how she goes. Naturally she is very unimpressed and has flicked her feet at me as she went to hide behind the sofa lol

Hope the treatment helps. If it doesnt then skull radiographs may be a good idea as tooth root problems cannot be ruled out without radiographs.

Thanks I will see how she gets on and speak to the vet if there's no improvement. Now we have the inevitable chase around the house twice daily just to put an eye drop in, it's times like this I wish she was just a bit friendlier!

Also just to add I hope this is all it is and not a symptom of something else, it's hard when you can't be in the consultation with them at the moment.

I hope this is all that it is and can be cleared up, good luck with the chase!

I hope eye drops solve her issue. Bunnies are so good at making evasive moves and hiding under and behind things. Don't forget to stretch before your furry personal trainer puts you through the obstacle course.

Haha she actually let me put the drops in straight away last night, this morning however is another matter! We've had two unsuccessful attempts so far...

They learn quickly., so even tempting with food works only so long. Mine dislike being picked up more than the medicine once on my lap.

Indeed. With eye drops, I bribed Lopsy into a certain position with food and then got the drops in. He's really easy to manipulate as long as his face is in food though, so I'm pretty lucky! He didn't care about the eye drops either, he was much less keen on ear drops XD
