New to the site, rabbit ownership and looking for some feedback. 

We recently had the privilege of bringing home Caramel. She is ~ 8 months old (sorry I cannot remember her exact age right now). My wife and daughter have really fallen in love with her and she has been a fantastic addition to our little zoo of parrots, dog and fish. Very happy, very playful, eating & drinking well, very affectionate and bounding all over the place. 

Unfortunately, we have had a pretty dramatic past 48 hours.

She stopped eating, drinking, then her left eye swelled, became quite red and eventually shut over the course of an hour. From the immediate trip to our vet yesterday, she was hydrated, received meds for gastro-intestinal issues and the doc took blood to test for E Cuniculi (among other things). Today she was doing much better, he color was back, her energy was back and she was eating/drinking normally. The eye swelling was gone and the eye had re-opened. Late today, my wife went to check on her and found blood streaming from the left eye.

In a panicked trip back to the vet, he confirmed that her EC readings were very high and that the cause of the bleeding was due to a cyst in the eye that had ruptured and that the cause of the cyst was due to the EC. He immediately recommended that the eye be removed due to damage to the eye and due to the very high EC readings. 

I have been doing as much reading as I can tonight and cannot find eye cysts as a symptom of EC. Going straight to the eye removal also seems aggressive but not sure if it is warranted given the cyst and the high readings. Looking for feedback if this is common, should we get a second opinion? The poor thing is miserable so want to take some positive action quick but we are quite scared of making a poor decision and doing something to risk our little fuzzy loved one. 

Only reassuring thing so far is the long list of people who have perfectly happy, healthy one eye rabbits. 

Thanks in advance, 
Frank
