    Could be alot of things.

    Best not to get upset till you see what the vet says.

    Has she had her jabs for myxi and VHD?

    Try not to worry hun. Hopefully its just a treatable eye infection or something fairly simple

    Yeah please don't worry hun, it's probably not something big at all. My rabbit Mischief was just like that last week! He's much better now though. We brought him inside and bathed his eyes with salt water, he was well on the way to recovery after a few days! Good luck. xx

    it could be just poorly eye an eye cream will cure it.

    some times rabbits will still get mixi even if they have had the jab, but have a better chance of getting through it if they have had the jab

    Could be your food! If your feeding something too high in protein and not high enough in fibre. I have had that problem with a couple of my minis so am changing their food. Even eye cream wont sort that!

    What food is she on?

    I would advise a vet check, Lynx one of my bunnies had a swollen eye and i took him to the vet and he had a scratch on it probably from hay and also Amber scratched her eye when she was spayed and her eye was very watery and she wouldnt open it, eye infections can also be very painful, bunnies wont show when they are in pain because they are a prey species, hope your bunny is ok

    I would recommend vaccinating your rabbit.


    A rabbit that has not been vaccinated will have to be PTS.
    One that has will have a chance.

    VHD is known as the silent killer, it is fatal, and normally the first sign you get is a dead bunny
