  How long has it been around for, and has it been checked by a vet yet? Do you have any idea what may have caused it? Also, is your rabbit eating/pooping normally?
  
  To my knowledge, really any eye-related ailment really needs to be assessed by a rabbit-experienced vet to figure out the proper treatment and help the rabbit.

  He’s had it for about 3 weeks and we haven’t had him checked by the vet yet because we aren’t sure if it’s serious. I have absolutely no idea what has caused it and when i tried doing research online for the possibilities nothing came up. Yes he’s eating and pooping normally. Thank you for replying!

  I would get it checked out by a vet. If it hasn’t changed for the past 3 weeks, that can be positive, though it can still be indicative of an underlying issue that needs to be treated or it is getting worse but in a way that can’t be perceived yet. Rabbits eyes can definitely get nicked by hay or other things accidentally, so it’s not necessarily a sign of something bad, but there are also a lot of vision-related and sometimes mouth-related issues that appear with eye symptoms.

  It’s hard to see detail in the picture. Is the red spot “floating” inside the eye? An eye injury could cause a subconjunctival hemorrhage (i.e. blood in the eye). Another possibility is uveitis.

  Hi!
  
  It’s not necessarily floating in his eye but I looked into uveitis as you suggested and it some what looks like that, just not as white. We scheduled an appointment with our vet for this friday. Thank you for your help!! 🙂

  OK, if that’s the case then I would definitely bring up EC with the vet. Uveitis caused by EC is common in young rabbits and can appear in the absence of other symptoms.
