Could someone help me with my rabbits eye?

Hello
Tonight I found something in my rabbits eye. At first I thought it was hay but it seems more sticky? than that. I’m thinking of putting an eye drop in, but I’m not sure.
If you know or may know what it is I really appreciate the help!

Ok so I was able to get it out with some water droplets and mostly my rabbits self care. It turned out to be a tiny sliver of hay that was irritating it. Is there any way I could stop that from ever happening?

Well, not really. It may have slipped in at some point. If this doesn’t usually happen, it shouldn’t be anything to worry about really. Just make sure you’re buns eye stays clear and it doesn’t get inflamed. If it gets inflamed just call your vet for some advice. If your rabbit was able to get it out by self care, and water then your bun should be fine.

It's just something that can happen with rabbits. As long as the hay wasn't stuck in there too long irritating the cornea, it should be fine. But it's a good idea to check the eye for the next several days and make sure there are no signs of redness or irritation around the eye, or cloudiness of the cornea. If there is, then the cornea may have gotten scratched and you would need to book a vet appointment to get some eye drops to help it heal.

Usually it's just a clump of fur that will get stuck in there, and for that usually all that is needed is plain sterile saline eye drops(eg. natural tears) to flush out the debris that gets stuck in there.
