My poor little old man rabbit (dwarf lop) developed cataracts at about age 6, which then quickly became glaucoma which was treated at great expense by the most useless eye-specialist you could possibly imagine, but that's another story, it at least stopped the glaucoma from getting any worse.
Now he's 7 and perfectly happy although he can barely see at all, but he doesn't let that bother him (aren't rabbit's wonderful?), but recently it seems to me like his cataracts have grown more cloudy than they used to be, and I don't think he can see at all from his still swollen glaucoma eye.
He's eating and playing and everything just as normal, it certainly doesn't seem like he's in pain (or at least any more pain than he's used to with his swollen eye).
My question is, should I take him to the vets? He's always been rather bumbling and confused even since he was little, and particularly as he can't see pretty much at all it's distressed him so much to move him or pick him up, I don't want to have to put him through an unnecessary vet visit when they already know he has cataracts and that eye is pretty much a goner anyway.
