My dwarf has had a weepy eye for the past several weeks and I’ve taken her to the vet twice.
The first time, they examined her eyes and front teeth but couldn’t see anything wrong, so I was told to wipe her eye with a warm washcloth and bring her back if it didn’t clear up.  It didn’t, so I took her back.  They flushed both of her tear ducts (without sedation) and told me that quite a bit of mucus was dislodged from her nasal cavity, so I’m hoping that was the problem and that she’ll be fine now.  They gave me 2 different eye drops to give her 3x a day for the next 7 days and told me to bring her back if it still doesn’t clear up.  

I pray to God that it clears and I don’t have to take her back, because I was also told how common it was for netherland dwarfs to have the roots from their back molars grow up into the nasal cavity and make abscesses.  If this were the case, then she would have to undergo major surgery to have teeth extracted at 6 years old.  She doesn’t appear to be in any pain.  She eats like a horse and still runs and binkies for her treats, so I’m hesitant to think it could be a tooth problem, but I’m so worried about it that I’m losing sleep.  She’s my best furry friend in the whole world!!

Has anyone else had weepy eyed bun problems, got the flush and it cleared up?  Or did you find out your rabbit had hidden dental problems?  If they had dental problems, did you have to have teeth pulled?  How old were your buns?  Did they pull through the extraction and live with missing teeth okay?

Sorry for all the questions.  I know I’m putting the “horse before the cart” in jumping to the worst conclusions before I even know for sure.  But I get so worried when it comes to my furbaby.  She helped me get past the deaths of both of my parents and has been there for me for the past 6 years.  I owe her a lot!
