AnswerDear Yaidelin,
Your bunny needs to be seen by a good rabbit vet ASAP. Find one here:

Runny eye coupled with runny nose oozing pus usually means there is a molar root abscess, and the vet may need to put the bunny on appropriate, rabbit-safe antibiotics, so it's *imperative* to make sure the vet knows rabbit medicine! Please read:

and

Please also ask about pain management. Rabbits do not show pain, as they have an instinct to not attract predators with sick behavior, but they feel it. A rotten tooth is *painful.* Please ask the vet about metacam and/or tramadol for relief while the infection is being treated.
I hope this helps.
