Hi everyone, I have a 3 years old Holland lop named Bear. Since I adopted him in January, I've always notice that he would have dried white gunk on the edge of his eyes. I normally have to clean it every couple of days. But these last few days I've notice that the fur around his right eye was wet and matted. I tried to clean it last night but today it was wet again. I also could see white discharge coming from his eyes. His conjunctiva doesn't look inflamed, red or swollen. He is eating and acting normal. Other than his eye, he doesn't have any other symptoms.
Little more history:
I got him in January along with his bonded mate. His bonded friend died in April. Since then he has 3 episodes of GI stasis. I have no other pets and he has lived indoors the whole time. I feed him oxbow hay, oxbow pellets and vegetables.
If this continues, I will bring him to the vet. But, I am nervous that they will have to do a bunch of testing before they can diagnose him. Also, worried that treatment would cost a lot. I've already spent quite a bit of money on him recently because of his GI stasis so I'm not sure if I can afford all the testing and potential treatments. Hoping to hear other people opinion on what this might be. I am really hoping its something easy to fix like conjunctivitis. I also moved him into a new room couple weeks ago. Since then I've noticed he has sneezed a few times. Hes not sneezing that often but its just weird because before moving him into his new room, I've never ever seen him sneeze before. Is it possible he has allergies?
Thank you
