what is this eye thing?

[boukacreshollands]

Can anyone tell me what this is in this kits eye. The otherside is normal. Both parents are normal and 2 other kits are normal. This one and another have this weird eye. Is this genetic? Is it blindness?? all the kits are doing good at this time they are 5 weeks old.

Any info is helpful.

Thank you

Your Photo is hard to see but it looks like the eye has clouded over. Bunny will need to see the vet. Sorry not much help. But i did find this website about cloudy eye's in rabbits.

They were born that way, it's the pupil that is a light blue color the rest of the eye seems to be fine. They don't have a hard time seeing or anything like that.

I posted this for Bo yesterday in the infirmary
Bun should be taken to the vet in case of it being any kind of infectious thing

It almost looks like he is blind. I used to have a rabbit and his eyes were clouded like that. He was just legally blind, he could see basic shapes and all. Just not color and details.

Aww poor baby

I hope it's nothing serious.

Oh no! I hope it's nothing serious.

But like BSAR said, she had a litter of kits and one of them had a cloudy eye and he turned out blind. But is the kit's eye like goopy or teary?

I would take him to the vet and see if he can see, etc.

Looks to me like he may be legally blind in that eye.

I had a cat that had that and it was scar tissue that formed over the eye and he is partially blind. I agree the bun should see a vet. I know buns and cats are different so hopefully it is something else but I would take the bun to the vet to be sure. I know with my cat the faster they could treat it the more they could stop the scar tissue from growing over the eyeand casusing more problems/scar tissue.The more scar tissue the more that it will effect their vision.

Is it like in the eye, or on the eye? I can't really see from that pic.

At the rescue I volunteer with they have two siblings who had strange 'ulcers' on their eyes and they looked a bit like that. I say 'ulcers' because that's what the vet said it was, but the vet is not rabbit savvy at all so could have been something else.

Either way, the babes do need a vet, I agree with everyone else.

The babies eyes are not weepy or anything, and they can see. other than it looking strange nothing seems wrong with them. It's more like their pupils are a light blue color rather than black. The rest of the eye is normal and so is the other eye (its only in one eye on two differantbabies).

does anyone know if this is mooneye or walleye? The pupil is light blue color, there are no scratches or tearing/discharge.

It could be mooneye.

Have you taken him to the vet to get it checked? They would be able to confirm what it is

I am going to be weaning them here pretty soon, so I will take her then.
