Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.
Is the greying you are seeing in the iris?Bubble went to see another vet today. He has a cataract in one eye, which I knew about, and has very limited sight out that eye. The vet thinks he can only see light and dark, no details. He also has a slight greying of his eyes, even the one with the cataract, with a clear part in the middle. Does anyone know what that could be?
Mimz, it's also called ventroflexion, if you want to look into it further. I think you've heard of that? The eyes bulge due to pressure on the major bloodvessels if there is a mass.
Weedug, it's good to hear you got more info from the second vet. Im sort of taken aback that the first vet recommends pts for blind rabbits.
