Question
I have just come home from a ten day trip, my parents have been looking after my rabbit for me. And I was distressed to see a yellowy spot in ONE of the rabbit's pupils. It is a black dwarf rabbit and I THINK it is a female. it is only just over one year old. I love him/her to death. please help!!

Answer
Dear Jessica,

Without seeing this, I can't tell if this is a corneal ulcer or a problem with the lens inside the eye.  But either condition should be seen by a vet, and preferably by a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist (perhaps referred by your regular vet).  If you don't have a rabbit vet yet, please find one here:

I hope this helps.  Please write back if you have any other questions.
