Sore Eyes

Question
Yesterday i noticed that my rabbits eyes were red, look sore and have puss
around them. Can you tell me what is wrong with my rabbit and will he be okay?
Could it have anything to do with him being albino?

Answer
Hi,

has nothing to do with being albino.  He has some kind of infection in his sinuses.

You need to take him in to your good regular rabbit vet.  Infections just do not clear up on their own with rabbits.  It will get worse and he will get sicker and die if you don't do anything.  If you don't have a good rabbit vet (not all vets are) go here:

and find a House Rabbit Society-recommended vet near you.

PS - rabbits need at least an annual exam by a vet - just like cats and dogs.
