this might be a really dumb question but it would be obvious if a rabbits eyes were bulging right? Mine went to vet a few days ago for an unrelated issue and I forgot to ask about eyes. The vet would have said something right/ noticed (phenomenal & experienced exotic vet)?

I can’t see any white, there’s no discharge and I can’t see 3rd eyelid. Her eyes just like look larger than they used to but I was also just out of town for 3 weeks and she grew so maybe it’s just that?

Tried to look for pics to compare to on internet but all the ones I can find are super extreme clearly infected eyes that look nothing like hers.
 
I think if there was an actual problem, you would be able to tell. But I can't say for sure of course, so if you have concerns it's always best to ask your vet.
 
I had a rabbit before with a bulging eye. The vet I had missed diagnosed him with an eye infection. He had an oral disease where the roots of his teeth were causing swelling around his eye. If your rabbit stops eating, take your rabbit to the vet asap. Some rabbits just have bigger eyes, like my Netherland Dwarf. What breed is your rabbit?

Holland lop. The vet did check her teeth and said they look good and she is most definitely still eating
