Answer
Dear Talmia,

Please check the list here:

www.rabbit.org/vets

for a second opinion from an experienced rabbit vet. Please also read:

And if possible, get a referral for a veterinary ophthalmologist who can evaluate the remaining eye. This could be just one of many problems.

This, too, will be helpful:

I hope your bunny will be better soon.
