[milliebun08]

:apollo:<<<my bunny Millie...

she's been having discharge from her eyes for a couple of weeks and today i notices it was a chalky white colour, what is is??

anybody know what it is?? or how to treat it?? or what i shoud do??

I know you say its a chalky white color now, but what was it before?

This could be a sign of a dental problem, aneye infection or other health related problems.

Is this your only rabbit?

A white discharge is serious in rabbits, it's most often conjunctivitis, but check out our Library entry for all the various ailments:

Eye Problems

In particular, this is a great page with photos:

http://www.medirabbit.com/EN/Eye_diseases/Discharge/eye_discharge.htm

I haven't refreshed my knowledge lately by re-reading these pages, but I think your bunny will probably need prescription antibiotic eye drops, and maybe a full course of antibiotics.

There may also be another underlying cause for the infection. She definitely needs to see a vet.

Please let us know how she's doing. Pics would be great.

i don't know what it was before, her fur just looked wet around her eyes and yes she is my only rabbit though i have two guinea pigs and she lives with one of them.

i know people say not to put guinea pigs and rabbits together but they have been together since babies and they get along well.



thanks for your concern. x

Just want to add my 2¢ in support of what Pipp advised! This is SERIOUS! Vet check ASAP!

It's best if you add your profile, especially in situations like this, we need to know where you are generally to advise on products/vets. Go to your account/profile and update the location part of it.
