Hi everybun, I have had 3 bunnies around the 6-8 week mark who have each had a swollen eyelid with a scab I have self treated each one with anti bacterial rabbit safe eye cream and kept one back and she is now 5 months and absolutely fine. I’ve found it goes down within a week but I’m not sure what it is. I’ve bred a lot of kits I wondered if it might be conjunctivitis but I’ve only had 3 with it over a 5 month period. My most recent I noticed today (I have photos but can’t seem to attach sorry I’m new here) best way to describe. Upper eyelid slight bald patch, swollen and scabbed. No weeping of the eyes themselves. I wonder if it’s the hay or bedding and just at random or if it’s something else? I’m a responsible breeder and I have a mentor who has been breeding for 10 years so it’s important to me to get to the bottom of this. ( she hasn’t had this before either so isn’t entirely sure herself hence coming here for advice )
