rabbit watery eye

Question
Hi,
My rabbit is 5 years old. For the past few days, his right eye has been extremely watery but I don't see any redness. What might be the problem? My rabbit does have breathing problems so I don't know if the problem is related to that. Thanks!

Answer
Dear Amer,

Please find a rabbit-savvy vet here:

and get bun there for a full wellness check.  Breathing problems should not be taken lightly, and should be treated lest they become worse.  The bunny might also have dental problems, which can contribute to both the apparent breathing problems and the runny eyes, as you can read here:

I hope this will help.
