Sore eyes

C9FAL said:

Hi all,

2 of my bunnies went to my in-laws for a few weeks while we moved house. We got them back today and I've noticed there is something wrong with Buddy's eyes. Both eyes he seems to have lost fur. Has anyone had any experience with this or know what this could be?

I will obviously be calling the vets in the morning.

It may be that he has a slight infection in his eyes causing them to produce a discharge which can make the surrounding skin sore. Also, the Rabbit's companion may keep licking the eyes and this can sometimes make the skin more sore.

I'd take Bunny to the Vet so that he can be thoroughly examined, including a Dental check. Sometimes 'runny eyes' are associated with Dental problems.

Good luck

Hey all,

Sorry for the late reply. We have been so busy moving house. We took Buddy to the vets and the bet said there isn't a concern there. It's actually Diasy constantly licking his eyes that has caused it.

That's good to hear! Is Daisy still licking it as much?

Thankfully it doesn't look like it. When we see her do it we try and stop her through [emoji4]
