I'm just wondering if there is anything i can do to make life more bearable for my rabbit and myself, when it comes to blocked tear ducts, she is 3 and a half years old, has had a weeping eye most of her life, but now it is ridiculous and i'm at my wits end, it keeps being flushed by the vets, but even by the next morning there is crust all around her eye which i have to pull off and i just don't see that is sensible carrying on like this. Apparently most tear duct flushes cure the problem for a few months, but 3 days is the longest it has been for her with no problems in the last year, it must be painful to have the crust there, but it most also be painful for me to remove it, is there any long term cure? I've tried eye drops and anti-biotics, but it never gets any better.
Also she very often gets a hugely messy bottom, not stuck on ordinary mess, but like a fist sized lump of just smelly mush, which i'm sure will get her fly strike one of these days, but we've tried wormer and gut treatment to balance her bacteria but nothing seems to help. She is also prone to cage aggression, so with all these things i feel ready to give up, she's suffering and i'm suffering spending so much time just on her, cleaning her up all the time, its not pleasant for either of us i've even considered her being PTS because she can't be happy like this, she sure doesn't act happy, any opinions and help greatly received!
