        My rabbit Anjula was bought last month as a teenager. A week or two later, she started “crying” from her left eye. I asked my mother and she said it was nothing. It has been a while and it is still leaking tear-like fluid. There is no sudden change in behavior, but why is she “crying?” Is this an early sign of eye infection?

          You should take her to a vet as soon as possible. It may be that she has a tooth problem and the vet can file down her teeth and give some antibiotics, but you’ll have to take her back to the vet every few months to have her teeth filed again to stop this happening again. Or it may be something irritating her eye. In any case it is best to get a vets advice as they’ll be able to prescribe appropriate medication

            I agree a vet should see her. It’s always wise to have a vet do a health-check on a new rabbit. In this case the trouble may be with the teeth (very common in rabbits, unfortunately) or with the eye itself. It’s of course best if you catch these things early. Please ask your mum if you can take her to the vet.
