Herb was (the rescue thinks) born with a cataract in his left eye. I’m pretty sure he has no sight in it. Yesterday when grooming him, I noticed that the surface of his eyeball looked to have a “worn” dull area in the centre of it. He’s otherwise fine in himself.
Took him to the vet today who examined him. He put the drops in his eye to check for an ulcer, but no damage showed up. He confirmed that he could see the same mark that I could. Herb’s tear production is s normal and there’s no sign of any irritation or inflammation. He’s not pawing at his eye or blinking more.
The vet feels that it doesn’t need any treatment and that I should just keep an eye on it (“No pun intended”, said the vet).
Just wondered if anyone had had any experience of something similar. Herb is very happy that he doesn’t need eyedrops as he’s not really a hands on bunny, he tried to box the vet a few times, not that I blame him, when someone keeps poking around your eye.
