recurring eye ulcers

Bouncing bunnies

Aurora had ulcers in both her eyes back in april which cleared up after she was put on fusidic eye drops. I noticed her eyes were running again yesterday so off we trotted to the vets this morning, and she has ulcers once again in both eyes and is receiving the same eye drops. Iwas just wondering what could be causing it. She lives with my two other buns and they haven't had any issues.

Has anyone any idea what could be causing them or been through anything similar with their rabbits?
 
Hi, My bunny is also going through treatment for his second ulcers in his eyes. So really interested to hear what people think?

Although my bun is on a slightly different anti-biotic eye drop but he is also on something called ocufen which is an anti-imflamtory eye drop which is really helping with us.

My vet seems to think it is brought on by stress which in my buns case is no surprise, but look forward to others thoughts and whether they do ever go?! My little man has had ulcers for over 6 weeks now.

Sending lots of vibes for your bun xx

thanks for replying, I've not heard it could be stressed related before but makes sense. I can't think of any changes that could have caused her to become stressed though. I hope your bun makes a swift recovery x
