Question
my pet rabbit honey has really red sore eyes. i have an appoitment tomorrow for the vets but she is really bad. i went to place her in the cage but she just screamed and wouldn't let me. please please help

Answer
You are already doing the best thing for her by taking her to the vet, if you reaching in after her is stressing her out, it might be best to leave her be until after you can get some medication on the eyes so that she can see you better.

If you do manage to get her out, you can take a smooth (like an old soft clean t-shirt) and getting it wet with warm water, and gently washing around her eyes, this will help remove any gunk in there and might also calm her down a bit to.

Good Luck
