Teary eye?

22 10:26:25

Question
Hi I own a 5 year old mini lop male and this morning when I woke up he had what looked like 'water' or clear discharge coming out of him eye. He is running around and seems to be breathing normally. Can you tell me what this 'discharge' could be from? (he is also eating & drinking normally)

Answer
hello tiffanie

as he is eating and drinking fine then im sure it is nothing to worry about however go take him to the vets just incase. it may be that he has something caught in his eye, has scratched his eye ball or has an eye infection. get some warm water and gently wash away the discharge so that it wont dry out and get hard around his eye.

hope this helps
