he has a pink and bald eye.And it it is a little swolen around the eye inthe pink stuff. He/She is an Albino bunny. Help?
Answers:
go to the vet
Bunnies have really lousy tear ducts, and when they get blocked, bad things can happen. You may notice fluid, pus, or gunk around the eye, and it's possible that it becomes pink from irritation. If it goes on for long enough without treatment, the constant wetness on the area will lead to the fur coming off, hence the "bald" eye.
Please, please, please take your bunny to the vet IMMEDIATELY! If left untreated, your bunny could get an abcess, or a prolonged head infection (which could lead to other eye, ear, and nose infections).
The vet will first probably try giving you eyedrops or ointment to apply to the eye daily. If this doesn't work, he/she will most likely try flushing the tear duct.
There is no answer good enough that you will get here, GO TO THE VET!! Bunnies are VERY sensitive.this could be happening for many reasons. Bunnies (as most animals) will hide any reall tramatic symptoms for a while before it is too late to help them. DO not let this continue.HELP HIM!!
put it on a table with a demonic sign on it,take a big curvy knife,make a sacrafice and have a funny bunny blood orgy
What are you waiting girl? Take your bunny to the veterinarian.
Sounds like your rabbit might have an eye infection. Is the third eyelid showing? Is the eye oozing anything?
You have 2 options: a) go to a feed and tack store, or a place that sells over-the-counter medicines for animals. Purchase a small tube of Teramycin eye ointment and follow the directions on the tube--it SHOULD clear up any infection and sooth the inflamation - OR - b) take your rabbit to the vet who'll wash the eye with a saline solution and probably take a culture, and then prescribe some ointment.
If you go with (a) and the problem doesn't clear up in a day or two, definitely do option (b) as the infection is more serious and you'll need a stronger antibiotic.
Take your rabbit to the vet. He might be contagious. This kind of sounds like "pink eye".
Eye problems are common with rabbits. Take your bunny to the vet and they'll probably give you antibiotics to clear it up.
Listen to strayd0g he knows what he's talking about.
I agree with the stray dog guy but you could also try removing its hay from its cage for a day or two. It could have poked its self in eye with hay, amazing how often the bunnies do that. I also flush the eye with the individual packets of eye saline solution. But also use the eye ointment just sounds like you bun got a bit of conjunctivitis.
No one here can really diagnose anything. This sounds serious you need to take her to a rabbit savvy vet. You can find a list on this website. http://www.rabbit.org
