mowgli's eye - update 19/08/08

dad just said to me, that mowgli's eye has gone white so i checked but rosie and him just had one of there fights over sex like rosie does, im thinking maybe she's done it by scratching as there is like a little line in the eye too?

they do have ets app on tuesday, dad said to keep eye on it see how it is tomo

lisa

It could be a catarract, depending on where, exactly, on the eye it is.
Could your Dad possibly take Rosie to the Vet tomorrow ?
I know you have a lot to cope with at the moment and so hopefully your Dad can help out

ill ask dad tomo if mowgli's eye still white

i feel like a bad bunny mum, not even noticing it and dad finding it normall ill notice things straight away

lisa

mowgli's back home, she did a few tests and things, unsure what it could be as he has abit of whiteness in both eyes but it more prominant in his right eye, she said its not cateracts, their is no scratches in it so rosie hasnt done anything to him, she given him some antibiotics as she thinks it may be an infection as the right eye is little red on top
got to put the antiobiotic 2 drops in each eye everyday, they are due myxi vaccinations on tuesday so he'll have tham checked again
if it gets worse he'll have to go to see a specialist so hoping it doesnt,

lisa

Well hopefully the drops will help. I would ask your Vet if it would be a good idea to postpone the Myxi vaccination until Rosie's eye is better.

fingers crossed the drops will help

vibes for Mowgli's eye!

I hope Mowgli's eye clears up soon

just added some drops this morning

awww he shuck his head in disgust

dont worry jane i didnt know what day it ws this morning , im hoping it will too my little boy

mowgli is being refererred to a eye specialist vet as its not clearing, they cant see to back of his cloudy eye but he can still see from it as his pupil responds too, and his left eye is not so perfect from the cloudness now too

Poor Mowgli.

As an optician, can I ask if your vet said if the cloudiness was on the cornea (the front of the eye) or the lens (inside the eye)?

Lisa are you treating Rosie and Mowgli with Panacur/Lapizole?
EC can effect the lens of the eye causing cataracts and uveitis. Mowgli's eye problems may not be EC related, but it might be a good idea to cover all bases so to speak.

Please keep us updated about him

no we are due to get some free rabbit panacur free from the healthy pet club we joined

If the cloudiness is on the front of the eye then this wouldn't be a cataract - tho I guess a lot of vets (and GP's) would describe a cataract as being on the front of the eye.
A clouding of the cornea can be caused by several problems in a human, I am not really well clued up on bunny eye problems but the most obvious causes such as uveitis, ulcers and glaucoma would be associated with pain/discomfort which I think would be obvious. Sometimes chronic dry eyes can cause cloudiness, I have heard of this occurring in dogs.
I hope Mowgli can get a quick appointment with an eye specialist to try to get an understanding of the cause.

thanks ill let you know
