Hi everyone. I’m new to this forum. I’ve recently adopted a sooty fawn female around 18 months old. She currently has a problem with her eye. Discharge crusting over and matted onto fur underneath eye. Wondering on any suggestions or instant vet appointment. IMG_0066.jpegIMG_0068.jpeg
 
Vet ASAP. There are numerous possible causes including injury to the cornea, corneal ulceration, conjunctivitis, Dental problems (elongated tooth roots)

This is a problem that cannot be diagnosed and treated without a full examination by a Vet so the best thing you can do is arrange a consultation without delay.

Thank you for your advice. I’ll get her booked in asap.
 
Welcome to the forum. I agree she needs a vet appointment to diagnose the issue. Sending positive vibes for your beautiful bunny girl. What is her name?
 
Yep, not uncommon in lops unfortunately as they have flat faces. Definitely agree with checking her out at the vet. Sometimes it can be linked to their teeth as InspectorMorse has said. Hopefully just a minor infection. You can try to use a warm compress just on some of the gunk until your vet appointment.
