Cataracts?

[Riley]

Hi everyone! I have recently adopted a 10 year old rabbit from an older woman that was unable to care for him anymore. When I took him out to say hi yesterday, I noticed a very cloudy and white disc covering his pupil. His other eye seemed to be a little oozy. I immediately suspected it to be cataracts seeing as he is older and I don’t think he had the best diet. I have spent some time doing research on possible causes and treatment and I am now thinking I should take him to the vet to get it checked out to make sure it isn’t E. cuniculi or anything more serious. I suspect they have just developed due to old age, and if that is the case, I am inclined to hold off on any type of surgical procedure to have <g class="gr_ gr_404 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-del replaceWithoutSep" id="404" data-gr-id="404">the cataracts</g> removed due to the cost (which I have heard can be pretty steep) and the invasive nature of any surgery. However, I don't want to make a decision that could jeopardize his health and happiness and I&nbsp;would be interested in hearing the opinions and suggestions of anyone else! Thanks!</p>

Hi Riley! Actually, LittlePuffyTail has a similar thread about her bunny Bindi. He has the same issue. I’m not sure what came of it, but you can go check out LPT’s thread further down in this section. It might be able to shed some insight into your own bun’s issues. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
