        I never sure if my bunny is healthy or not.

        -he’s very energetic, does a lot of binky like a lot

        – eating and drinking is normal

        – his droppings are nice rounded light brown color

        -likes playing with me and stuff

        – does flops when he is near me

        but he also has

        – watery eyes ( I been to the vet for his eyes and had antibiotics for him, the doctor said his eyes are heal now) but is still watery

        -he sneezes too sometimes is wet sometimes is not.

          I also clean his eyes almost everyday with a wet warm cloth. And the watery thing never goes away. And I brought him to the vet two times for the same issue.

            There can be many causes for watery eyes, dental issues is a common one. Rabbit teeth are continually growing so they can actually overgrow at the roots which can cause watery eyes. With it being both eyes it might be more likely to be something else such as a viral infection which antibiotics would not have fixed.

            Does your vet see a lot of rabbits?

            I’d also be cautious about wiping the eyes as that can do more harm than good by actually causing irritation and potentially scratching the surface of the eye. If you want to clean them you are better off just rinsing them with saline solution, but do not wipe them. The wiping could actually be causing the weeping.

            Other things to consider are allergies to hay or bedding, or perhaps if the hay is very dusty it could be causing irritation.

                It could be a dental program, despite the fact that it’s only on one side. Your bunny might have tooth spurs, especially if he has any lop, netherland dwarf, or another small rabbit breed in him. Tooth spurs can be painful so I would at least have his vet check his teeth. Definitely get his teeth checked out, and if that’s not the problem, maybe get a second opinion from another vet that has rabbit experience? Or, you could try to see if he has any allergies or something. Try different hays, litter, food, greens, and see if anything changes. Chances are its going to be a hay or litter allergy rather than a pellet or green allergy.
