Thanks for your question. I’m sorry to hear about your rabbit’s eye troubles. Eye infections in rabbits can be concerning, especially if they aren't resolving. Common causes include bacterial infections, dental issues, or foreign objects in the eye. Sometimes, underlying conditions like tear duct blockages or more serious problems like a corneal ulcer could also contribute.
For home care, gently clean around your rabbit's eye with a warm, damp cloth to remove any discharge, ensuring you're very gentle to avoid irritation. It’s crucial to maintain a clean environment for your rabbit to prevent further irritation or infection.
Keep an eye out for signs that warrant immediate attention, such as redness, excessive discharge, swelling, squinting, or if your rabbit stops eating. Changes in eating habits can indicate pain or discomfort, which is always a concern.
Given your rabbit’s age and the persistent nature of the infection, it’s a good idea to book a video consult with Dial A Vet. This will allow us to discuss further actions and determine whether additional diagnostic tests or treatments are necessary. We’re here to help ensure your furry friend feels better as soon as possible!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
