My bun buns?

Question
NMyn rabbit has lots of discharge from her eye, and the middle of her eye is now white. What's happening???

Answer
Dear Ali,

This could be anything from a corneal ulcer to an abscess inside the eye orbit to glaucoma causing a cataract.  You need to get bun to a good rabbit vet:

www.rabbit.org/vets

for an initial checkup, and then get a referral for a good, experienced veterinary ophthalmologist (from your vet) who can have a look at the eye and prescribe proper treatment if the regular vet cannot.

Please waste no time getting bun to a vet, as this condition is likely very painful.  She needs pain medication, if nothing else!

I hope this helps.
