An eye injury in a rabbit is a common occurrence and
should not be cause for alarm. Instead, remain calm and take a look at your
rabbit’s eye to determine the severity of the injury. In most cases, a rabbit
will simply scratch his eye either because something has gotten caught in the
eye (i.e. dust, bedding, etc.) or he has scratched his eye with his own nails
while grooming or rubbing at the eye. For small irritations due to debris in
the eye or small scratches, your rabbit’s eye will most likely be watery and
irritated or even inflamed. Your vet may recommend you flushing the eye out
with a recommended eye solution. If you notice any kind of green or yellow
discharge coming from the eye then there’s more than a simply scratch going on.
This could be sign of a possible infection and requires immediate care from
your London, ON veterinarian.
