My bun, Clover has some sort of discharge coming out of one eye.  It's clear and once dry it causes the fur around the eye to become crusty. I've been keeping it wiped, but it never goes away.  Other than this Clover has been fine, eating and  pooping normally.  Any ideas??  Thanks. 

Hi KSharp

Just wondering how this turned out, did you take him to the vet and what was the result?

Sable had a gooey eye the other day but it seemed to dry up and he looked fine the next morning.  Then last night I noticed a little  bit of wetness again after several days of it being okay so I'm curious about Clover's situation.

Thanks

OH, I'm so sorry!  I know that just hurts your heart!   I've been through the whole jaw abscess thing with Rucy.  The first one she had before i adopted her.  The second one returned after two years, and the third one was because the root from the tooth that was removed was still growing.  So my rabbit savvy vet teamed up with a vet who specialized in dental issues.  Together, they did the 'final"  surgery, (cross my fingers) and Rucy's has been free of the abscess for over a year.   She's happy and much more calm, so I know she's pain free.  She does have an eye that drains due to the fact that the scar tissue from the surgeries has blocked her tear duct, but Jack usually keeps her eye clean and dry. 

I also advise you to find a rabbit savvy vet who has experience in jaw abscesses.

 Sending loving thoughts to you and Clover xxxxx its just awful when our babies are poorley x

Our first bunny, Missy had major dental problems but she was such a brave little girl.  We did all we could for her and our vet was great.   She had several abcesses over the last 3 years, they treated them as they occured, and each time it was ok. There are things they can do xxx  I would strongly suggest getting x-rays taken too if possible, this is the one thing my vet didn't do until after the first 2 abcesses.

It was a huge decision when we agreed to have her insisors removed (we had to weigh up the frequency of surgery for filing down etc and the stress it caused against how well she would cope with eating without them - our vet felt that she would be fine) and she eat almost the same, we just had to make sure we cut things up into little chunks.

In the end it wasn't an abcess that was the problem, it was an upper canine root which was growing upwards... it was too close to the eye for them to do surgery easily and before we could make the decision to risk surgery and possibly lose her eye, she had two massive seizures.  It was awful.  It broke our hearts, it truly did, i'm just glad we did all that we could for her xxx

Keeping those good vibes heading Clover's way.  I was thinking about her just last night and hoping she was better.

Please let us know what you find out from the specialist.

Edited!  I asked how Clover was doing, only to find the updated post of how she was doing.

I'm glad to hear good news about Clover, but am sad to hear about Buddy.   I hope that everything will be okay, and I am sending good healthy vibes both both bunny and dog!
