Question
Hi

I have a 1.5 year old female rabbit, she recently have runny eyes (both eyes), and with a light white/ milky liquid. what can I do or what could be the cause for her runny eyes? She seems fine, still eating and running about.

Answer
Dear Lisa,

Your bunny may have blocked tear ducts.  These are often associated with upper respiratory infection or with dental problems.  Please see:
