White covering on Rabbits eye

[jakesampson1]

Hello everyone!

I was wondering if anyone could shed a bit of bunny advice for me. My rabbit has a patchy whiteness on both eyes (to different extents). The vet has told us it isn't cataracts or encephalitozoon cuniculi. We are short of bunny specialists near us, so wondered if anyone had encountered this before. The vet tested and said there was no pain in the eyes, there is watering of the eyes but no real discharge. Our rabbit is 4years old and otherwise in good health!


Thank you in advance

It’s very difficult to suggest what it might be based on photos. For a start, on first glance the marks look like gloopy discharge which could be bathed away. But if you say a Vet has examined the eyes then I assume the marks are actually lesions on the cornea. Without being able to see other parts of the eye ( using an opthalmascope), checking the blood vessels,pupil responses etc and checking for corneal abrasions I can’t answer your question. I would suggest that you request a referral to a Veterinary Opthalmic Specialist.
