Hi guys, thankfully I haven't needed to post here for quite a while!!
I was away on holiday last week with a house sitter looking after my rabbits. When I came home I noticed Cleos eye was dark with a red tinge. I panicked and booked her a vet appointment with the unusual pet vets here in Perth. They specialise in pets like rabbits, birds, reptiles etc and are the only people I would trust.
As I suspected the front pocket of her eye is full of blood. They gave her a good check over and stained her eye to find no scratches or punctures to her cornea. Her eye pressure is normal and her teeth are good.
They basically said it may have been caused by a bump or a fall, in which case it will clear up itself with some meloxicam to take home. However, there is a small chance it is something more serious like glaucoma and that they can refer me to a specialist if need be.
I have attached a few photos though it's hard to pick up on camera. The white spot is just the light, it basically looks like a layer of blood covering her eye with a little bit of cloudiness.
The biggest problem I have is being able to afford to see the eye specialist. I have just been through a load of car troubles that has drained my bank account. I could look at getting a loan or something, but I would love for your opinions to help me make a decision.
