Hiya all, I'm new to the forum, so hello to everyone
I have a nearly 4 year old male bunny, he's not been neutured, but he's also not aggressive, doesn't bite, he's active but not destructive *least not out of his home*
Anyway, a few months back, I noticed his eyes were getting watery, and the fur under his eyes were always wet, I took him to the vets *They aren't very nice I've since changed* and they said nothing was wrong.
I took him back later on and they put some dye in him and said he had a blocked tear duct, and recommended a GA to clear this, I don't fancy putting my bun under GA just to sort his eye as I don't want to loose him, as I've heard buns aren't well under GA
Anyway I've since gone to a different vets, They checked all his teeth + breathing, no problems there, I've had some eye cream drops to put in, Merlin (Bunny) was on these for about a week I think, And I was bathing his eyes in cold chamomile tea as advised by the vets, it seemed to clear up
Anyway last night when he came out for snuggles, I noticed his eyes are really red, though he isn't lathergic he grooms daily etc etc, His fur is constantly wet under his eyes, so it must bother him, I tried bathing him in chamomile tea and last night for the first time ever the little swine bit me, so I know it must hurt him
I am wondering what else I can do with him? I'm out of work myself right now, due to my own personal health reasons, so money is tight, BUT I am not having him suffer because I don't have money to spare, I'd rather go hungry, but I am wondering if anyone else's BUn's have suffered this, what can I do and are the treatments a success??
