Conjunctivitis in Rabbits

My Bunny is having watery eyes and a runny nose. I just noticed it today and am very concerned. I looked at her teeth and they seem perfectly normal. I do not know what is wrong but the symptoms of conjunctivitis sounds the same, what do you think i should do?

I was gone for a day and came back to find a red spot on my bunny’s eye. It is at the very front of her left eye and is causing her waterline to become red. I haven’t seen her itch it not does she seem in pain. What should I do? Will it go away In time?

My pet bunny, Kite, who is almost a year old had a red, slightly inflamed eye today. The waterline was much more pinkish than usual and the fur under his eyes was slightly wet and matted. I suspected it was conjunctivitis. I've cleaned it with warm water before giving him human eyedrops, I truly hope it is alright with me doing so. He flinched a bit when I was cleaning it so it might have been a little painful but still bearable. I'm going overseas in a few days and possibly passing him to a trusted relative to take care of him. However, I'm afraid of the infected eye getting worse when I'm away. What do you suggest I do?

My rabbit has discharge that mats the fur around his eyes and causes absesses. This has been going on for at least 3-4 weeks or more. It's causing me to worry lots. Is this conjunctivitis?

My rabbit just got a dental done at the vet about 2 weeks ago. Not long after his eye starting running. He doesn’t seem to be in much discomfort, he’s a very picky, slow eater and always has been so not too concerned about him turning away from some food. His fur under his eye is all wet but I clean it was warm water every day. My other rabbit got a runny eye not long after he did, so I’m assuming he’s probably passed an infection on? Does it sound like conjunctivitis or does it sound tooth related? A little worried about my little man. :(

My brother noticed some eye boogers or some discharge in his eye and grabbed a paper towel to wipe it off. He just now mentioned it and we went to go check on the bunny and his fur is matted, raw around the eye, keeps rubbing it and it is slightly swollen shut. We think it looks like pink eye but we're not sure. He also has diarrhea, he's had this for a long time but it seems because he refuses to eat his hay. He is still happy and jumping around but we're still extremely concerned about his eye.

My bunny's fur and skin is very light, and he has pink ears and had blue eyes until just recently, when his siblings had brown eyes from very early on. He seems to have a very pink line around his eyes, they look clean, but very pink. Mainly on one side than the other. I was wondering if this might be the start of conjunctivitis or something else, or if it's just natural, like with the pink ears and blue eyes. Should I take him into the vet, or should it go away? I also have noticed that he sort of tilts his head on an angle, with the pinker eye facing upwards.

My rabbit is less energized and has white gooey stuff all over his eyes he gets this alot during spring is there anything I stop this for good? I noticed he eats alot less aswell. I would like a reasponse as soon as posible please.

My rabbit keeps scratching her right eye and a small red spot will appear in the very corner of the eye on the skin. I’m assuming she’s scratching and causing it to bleed very slightly. This has been happening for what seems like months now. A small crust will appear over the scratched part. She has no other symptoms such as discharge or anything. I’m assuming it’s her back nails causing the scratch. Should I go to the vet? Does it sound like conjunctivitis or is there a way to file her nails? Thanks.

Dear Dr. Callum Turner: Cinnabun started with a slight head tilt towards the eye that was infected on May 7. Was given penicillin, baytril, metacam, BNP and tobramycin. Taken off penicillin the next day because we realized it was an eye infection not head tilt. Kept her on the other meds until May 17 when we saw her eye wasn’t getting better and was now inflamed from the bottom and thick pus was coming out. Took her to our vet and was told to put our bun to sleep because she was probably in a lot of pain and surgery (removing pus) wouldn’t help much. She’d only have a 5-10% chance of survival. I took her the same day to another vet for a 2nd opinion and he gassed her, checked her teeth (they were fine) and extracted a very smelly pus. He raised the dose and strength of the metacam, gave Zithromax, removed the baytril and kept the BNP & tobramycin. He took a culture which I’ll know the result of hopefully by Monday 5/21. He said I’d see an improvement of her eye in 24 hours with the Zithromax. But I haven’t. The pus is a bit less but the inflammation under her eye is back (it went down when he expressed it). She bunches over and looks in pain. It’s killing me to keep her this way and wondering if the 1st vet was right about putting her down. I will do anything to get her better. I read a study that said penicillin cured bunny eye infections 95-100% of the time. Could changing the med be more effective? Should I give it another day to see improvement? She has been eating less but she still drinks a lot of water. She still will come to me for her treat. Have been feeding her critical care in the morning & at night. Her poops were good before she got gassed but have been irregular and off-size since then. I am thinking of getting her some sub-Q fluids. She’s an inside, free roam bunny and is paired with Bumble. I am keeping her separate from him for now so he doesn’t lick her eye. At night she gets cold ears so I put a little portable heater nearby and she comes close to it to warm up. The other bunny has warm ears and the house temp is about 70 degrees F so I don’t know why she gets so cold. Any help or suggestions is appreciated. Thank you. 🙏🏼❤️

I have 2 rabbits w issues, one has sneezed constantly since i got him in april of this year. He went to the vet and she said allergies. No respiratory issues, eyes clear, appetite, poos & pee normal. He improved sonewhat after a round of meds but a week later.. sneezing again. The other dosent sneeze or have any nasal discharge but her eyes ooz a think sticky yellowish mucus that glues her eyes shut. I have cleaned her eyes daily when possible but sometimes every other day since i got her july this year. It was just one eye till a week ago when suddenly it was BOTH eyes. She sits still for her eye cleanings but this week she has started grinding her teeth a bit. I use organic chamomile tea bags as a compress and use a small syringe to gently flush out the eye w the tea w a bit of organic honey mixed in. I should mention that both these rabbits came from the same breeder in texas and they are now in SC. I am maxed on rabbit vet bills so what else can i try to ease these two babies issues?

Toffee has a very watery eye, no other discharge just seems very wet. This has caused a wet patch between her nose and eye. Started up yesterday and is a bit red and she has it slightly closed, but seems fine and is eating as normal. What could the issue be? I have another rabbit, Caramel, kept in the same (indoor) enclosure, which I clean out thoroughly every 2-3 days, who is absolutely fine. They don't spent a lot of time in their enclosure, as they have free reign of the living room.

My bunny Huck has had some watering of one eye. Some days it is hardly any and other days it is a little more. It is not thick ( has been white at times) but will sometimes mat his fur below the eye. I have been cleaning it with warm water on a cloth. He does not seem to clean his eyes too much with his paws but will on occasion. This has gone on for a few weeks. He has been staying inside because of the cold weather but it started just before I have kept him in. He seems to have usual energy, bathroom, etc.
