WWYD? Rabbit with eye swollen shut

[georgeandmildredgoose]

well im uk based here it would be on vet presciption but something like clinagel (gentamicin) or fucithalmic (fusidic acid) should do it. im sure your vet could put up something suitable. hope the eye gets better, and you dont get to scratched up whilst bathing the eye......

keep us posted!

If you can't get an eye script I would try some drops from some goldenseal and eyebright tea.

I second the Terramycin. I use it on everything that has eye issues around here. If u can get in her eye..that will be the battle. but I would just apply a thin strip across the eyelid. Hope it helps and she gets better.

Thanks everyone, today her eye is less goopy and she's got it open. I bought her a few treats for being such a good sport I gave her one this morning so I hope that she'll start to warm up to me a bit. I'd love to be able to hand feed her like I can the others (they literally attack me for food, LOL).
