I noticed yesterday that both Peppers and Tucker each had a wet eye each...
They live in side by side cages...Tucker has a bonded female mate...Peppy lives alone.
It looks like it might be a bit puffy but no disclouration on rim of the eye. The only way you tell there was something wrong was because the longish fur around her eye was matted like she had been over groomed. It was quite wet.
Since she is a wooly lionhead I trim the fur around her eyes regularly to keep it from irritating her and that was done 2 weeks ago...so the fur shouldn't be bugging her...the wetness is almost clear...it turns whitish/greyish as it dries and becomes thicker. Tuckers fur is much shorter...so he shouldn't have a problem at all with fur.
Normally seeing this wouldn't bother me...but having two rabbits in side by side cages who rarely interact both having one eye affected is too much to be coincidence...so I am calling the vet tomorrow to book Peppy in(since hers is worse and more obvious)
We have had the house closed up for winter since October...and no one has shown any signs of irritation or allergies...
Any ideas what may be causing this? Or what it could be?
Thanks
