Hi, and Welcome, and Yes – videos!

I haven’t had experience with an infection in the eye, so therefore have not used the treatment your vet gave you. However, spockie had a chronic eye duct problem his whole life, which is pretty common. It leaked clear, not milky or yellow. When his eye area got wet, I had a small tube of white goo that went into the corner, just a drop, melted from his body heat, and cleared up the duct problem in about 2 days. The vet determined this was the problem by putting in a solution initially that glowed under a blue light. Diagnosis and cure were simple, and since it reoccurred frequently over the years, the treatment was always in the house and worked.

My first impulse was to have you seek a second opinion, in case the eye diagnosis and treatment can be something other than what your vet has determined. However, you could also call her and say it keeps reoccuring and ask her what should be your next step. It may be that you are not administering the meds that she gave you effectively now, so need exact instructions to clear it up. Probably more time, or a stronger dose, or something similar.

Don’t have pix of a normal crustie (sorry I read this after I wiped one off of Herself) but it’s like a tiny white snot. It can be soft, but less than half the size of the tip of your pinkie fingernail, appears at the corner like ours do, and wipes off easily. Not runny, not long or large. Usually not clear or yellow.

Sneezes, lumpy jaw, crusties that are not typical, all can indicate something more is going on. That’s a vet visit, I think.
You can assist yourself with the $ before going for what becomes a chronic condition by applying for Pet Insurance with VPI. It’s $12/month and well worth it. They will not cover a pre-existing condition, so i would apply immediately. They may need to check with your vet, so the records might prohibit coverage of this particular issue, but it’s worth finding out. They don’t cover routine speuters, but it’s really nice insurance the minute you have a new medical need that can get very expensive. You just need to plan your pet’s costs into your budget whether it’s emergency vet care $ or monthly expenses for food, litter, etc. Starting now when bunny is healthier is better so it’s available for the senior years when most costs come up.

Exactly how does a rabbit crusty (sleep) look?

My bun usually gets this every day, and her’s are just tiny little specks in the corners of her eyes, usually white. I wipe my finger across or if its large enough just give a little tug and out it comes. It is not runny, it is just like ours.

What does a eye infection or dacrostysis look like at the start?

I haven’t experienced this so I don’t know, but with most eye infections I’m assuming the eye might tint a different color to give you an indication. Do her eyes look clear or red/pink?

Do rabbits usually get an infection in one eye at a time or both at a time?

It could be either, I’m thinking, depending on the origin of the infection.

Does anyone know how to check a rabbits teeth/mouth area for abcesses in the root? If there is a lump around a rabbits mouth that may be an abcess, how does it feel?

Feel around her jaw, there should be no lumps at all, if there is that would indicate something. If she have a tooth problem, her eating/drinking would be off due to pain. If you palipate her jaw and cheeks, is it painful for her? If she had an abcessed tooth I doubt she’d be in no pain.

Are there any things I can do to rule out certain possibilities of what is ailing her?

I think this is probably a time to consult your or a different vet. I’m not sure how much of human afflictions can go to rabbits, but when I get a sinus infection my right eye is always the one that tears up, my left eye doesn’t. I don’t know if rabbits can get sinus infections, but I used that as an example of an overactive eye that had nothing to do with the eye itself. Perhaps it’s something else that is just affecting her eye, like you mentioned something from her teeth. Do her ears look all right as well?

I’m super new to bunnies myself, but that’s what I would be questioning if it was my bun. I hope you can get this sorted out

There can be other things than infection that causes eye discharge.  I don’t think you mentioned the age of your bunny- but if it is young, I would suspect it was from a breeder and exposed to other rabbits and infections can be transmitted from rabbit to rabbit.  But a nontransmittable infection, or even an eye injury can cause discharge.

I would call your vet and give them an update on what is going on and ask their advice.  It does not sound normal and should be looked at.  Wet eye discharge will start to affect the skin around the area usually- making it raw and sensitive.

Rabbit “sleep” crusties are always dry and very, very small- My bunnies let me clean their faces if I lick my finger and “pet” over the corner of the eye to get it- they did not like it at first- but soon seemed to think that I was grooming them.
