Apollo’s Slave
Well-Known Member
I took Apollo to the vet exactly a week ago because his right eye was runny. I took him as soon as I could get an appointment - which was only about a half-hour after I saw it. They told me that he had 'slight conjunctivitis' in that one eye and gave antibiotic eye drops for it. I've followed their instructions to do one drop three times a day for a week. They also told us that it was probably due to him putting his whole head in his hay - which he does all the time. It seemed to be getting better after about three days and continued to look okay. I had to leave this weekend and left my mum with him. I know that she prioritized doing his eye drops but missed one out of the nine. I gave him eye drops last night before I went to bed and this morning his eye was looking very matted and he is losing fur under it. He's eating, sleeping, drinking, pooping, and playing the exact same as he always had. I'm meant to stop giving him eye drops after tonights one but I don't think it'll be enough. I've looked and seen that other people have had the same sort of problems with their bunnies. His eye is looking less red than before but still a little, and it isn't runny anymore I don't think
I just have a few questions:
Should I continue eye drops?
Will his fur grow back?
Do I need to go back to the vet?
Our vet is quite expensive , so we try to only go for emergencies and check-ups or vaccinations. Of course, I'll go to the vet if I have a big problem but I prefer not to.
Thank you.
