I am looking after a friend's animals, including chickens, cats, dog etc and also two rabbits. I went over to their house yesterday before they left so they could show me what to do. I noticed that one of the rabbits, Morris, has bad looking eyes. It looks all watery and pussy, sort of like conjunctivitis. Yesterday he could still see, but today when I went over there it looked like both of his eyes were entirely closed.
It's a hot day here, and he didn't seem to be moving around much so I was worried and have brought him to my house. I put him in my spare cage, and he slightly reluctantly sniffed around. He was a little more active but now is lying down.
I don't know a whole lot of info on him, because he isn't mine. What I do know is that when they got him he was very fat, and he is now a fair bit skinnier. I think he is about 1 or 2 years old, and a dwarf lop I guess (much bigger than my Lulu though).
So I guess I am wondering what this is, how serious it is for his health (life), and what I can do to help him. Should I wash around his eyes with water?
I'm having trouble posting pictures, does it work for people to go to the link below?
