My rabbit has something wrong with his eye?
I noticed this with my rabbit today. She could have had it for two days, since we have a schedule for who takes care of the rabbits, and I'm there every three days. I don't know what it is. Should we go to the vet? Or can someone tell me what it is and how we can help, if possible? It's white and looks sticky. Her eye is a little more closed than the other one.
It’s a really fat, eggy eye infection.
Yeah, that’s part of the vet. This also does not help wait, because this only delays the disease, while the rabbit suffers.
Such an infection can come from a conjunctivitis, but in rabbits it often happens when something is wrong with the tooth roots. Therefore, an X-ray image must also be produced.
Is that contagious for the other rabbits?
If it’s a conjunctivitis, yes.
A conjunctivitis usually affects both eyes, while tooth problems are usually one-sided.
Okay, thanks.
