Hello, we have female rabbit that has an eye problem.
She also has a bony lump above the eye, on top of the head, that may or may not be linked. It seems the skin is now turning a reddish browny color, but this could be because the fur is missing.
We have been to two recommended rabbit vets who do not know what the problem is and say they have not seen anything like it.
The one vet gave antibiotics, which did nothing, and the other said there was nothing wrong with the eye itself so antibiotics were of no use, and offered to take x-rays but said they really would be of no use.
She also said the bony lump could be an enclosed abcess, and unlikely to be a tumor, but could be.
We believe the fur is missing because her partner licks around it.
So I am asking if anyone knows what this is, we already have plenty of guesses, but it would be nice to know if anyone recognizes this eye problem.
