I noticed this morning that Pickles left eye was watery. Clear fluid/ tears. Right eye is normal. I checked her again this afternoon same thing, maybe less fluid. No pus or crust. I read it could be conjunctivitis or a bacterial infection. Can Baytril drops be purchased “over the counter” without a vet visit? What dose? Would it hurt her to treat as if it is an infection if she doesn’t have one? I tried to take a picture but you can’t see the fluid in any of them.
 
Most likely thing is she could have debris in her eye. I will try flushing with sterile saline eye drops a few times that first day. If it's not better by the next day, or if you start seeing white discharge in the eye or white cloudiness on the cornea, it's possible she could have scratched the cornea or have conjunctivitis. In which case you will need her seen by an experienced rabbit vet.

Thank you for advice. I flushed her eye yesterday ( she did NOT appreciate that!) and no watering this morning that I could see.
