My Rabbits Eyes are Wet

Question
I have a female Rex in my care and have only had her for a few months now. I adopted her from a friend who saved her from an abusive family. She is usually pretty good and happy besides her chewing wires to get attention. I don't have any idea how old she is but just recently her right eye is constantly wet, when it dries it gets wet again and I am worried about this. I don't really have the money to take her to the vet but I dont want to have her die on me.

Answer
It sounds like either a blocked tear duct or a slight bacterial infection. Some eye drops can help. However, if eye drops do not clear it up, she really will need to see a vet. If it is a bad block, just flushing out the eyes will not solve the problem.
