  My netherland dwarf Ricella has had a watery eye since she started living with us over 2 months ago. The vet has checked her teeth and they seem to be ok. She had a tear duct flush a month ago and 2 courses of antibiotics however the problem is still there. I was told that they managed to get alot of gunk out when they did the tear duct flush so I’m surprised the problem returned. She used to live outside so could being inside cause this?
  
  I was hoping to have her bonded with my other 2 rabbits so they’d clean her eyes but I think she’s too traumitised from her previous home to be around other rabbits as she’s still nipping them everytime they go near her.
  
  Has anyone else had the same issues and found a cause?

  My initial thought is always teeth because my Wick has teeth problems. I’ve read that persistent watery eye can be caused by an overgrown molar root putting pressure on the eyeball, from the inside. This would be noticeable on an x Ray.
  
  Have you seen your vet shine a light in the eye to see if there is any abnormalities in it? Anything odd about the eye?
