  Hi can anyone help me?
  My bunny had her tear duct flushed because it was clocked. She was prescribed an antibiotic eye drops for 5 days to clear out any infection if there is any. 3-4 times a day one drop each time. The eye drops contain Tobramycin. Is this alright? I’m asking because that’s not my usual rabbit savy vet so
  
  Thank you

  Tobramycin in eye drops is considered bunny safe by the House Rabbit Society (the HRS is a trusted source). It should not be given orally to rabbits, because that can cause kidney damage, but it’s not uncommon for rabbits to get tobramycin in eye drops.

  Yes, that is commonly used for rabbits. As Bam said, it’s safe as an eye drop.
