Conjunctivitis or Weepy Eye in Pet Rabbits
Pet rabbits raised in dusty quarters or in pens where
sawdust is used regularly, are prone to eye irritations
and infections.
Conjunctivitis is due to irritating foreign material scratching
the eye or conjunctiva.
Symptoms of Conjunctivitis in Pet Rabbits
Affected rabbits will rub their eyes with their front feet and
have mattered or runny eyes.
Treatment of Conjunctivitis in Pet Rabbits
Conjunctivitis in pet rabbits can usually be stopped with a
good ophthalmic ointment, especially one containing an
anesthetic to cut down the itching and burning which
encourages further rubbing and irritation.
