I live in Saudi Arabia where the resources and knowledge about rabbits is scarce. I am desperate to find a vet or specialist that can tell me what my rabbit has at his left eye. I have done some research and posted on forums, but opinions are contradictory and not professional.
Here’s the story...
About ten days ago, we rescued on the compound where we live a rabbit of about 7 months which an injured left eye. It might be a fight with a cat or bumping in something while trying to flight. At least this is what the vet (not specialized in rabbits) supposes.
The vet we took our rabbit to told us he was suffering from inflammation of the 3rd eyelid. His eye is white and black and there is edema.
We were told to treat it with Fucitalmic which we used for 9 days. Not seeing any improvement , we stopped and the edema reduced. After seeking another vet advice, we are now using Ciprocin one drop once a day and do warm compresses four times a day. The vet also suggest to use VitA-POS once a day.
The rabbit eats, drinks and produces excrement daily. He lies down with his elongated hind legs, relaxed. I think he can suffer from his injury in silence. His eye reacts to the light according to the veterinarian who examined it.
I would like to know if you could help me find an appropriate treatment. I do not want him to lose his eye. I know the treatment can be long before getting results, but I am very worried it might be a case of E. Cuniculi and pasteurella.. But this happened overnight..
I would like to have your advice. Thanks
Annie
