Is the pink flesh that surrounds your rabbit's eye (conjunctiva) inflamed?
Does your rabbit have weepy, sticky eyes?
Is there a wound on the surface of the eye (the cornea)?
Does the eye appear dull, cloudy, or red?
Does the iris sticks out through the cornea?
Did the eyeball pop out of your rabbit's head?
Conjunctivitis or 'pink-eye' is an inflammation of the pink flesh that surrounds your rabbit's eye. This pink- to red-colored fleshy part is called the conjunctiva. A rabbit can get conjunctivitis from dirty water or an environment that harbors bacteria, such as a dirty cage or a litter box that they like to lie in.
Tear duct disease (dacryocystitis) is an inflammation of the tear ducts. This is a common problem in rabbits and is nearly always caused by dental disease. Dacryocystitis causes weepy, sticky eyes.
When something gets stuck in your rabbit's eye (such as bedding) or another trauma occurs to the eyeball itself, damage to the clear, outermost layer of the eye called the cornea can occur and an ulcer may result. An ulcer is a hole or defect in the cornea. It could be a small spot or could cover the entire eye. Ulcers are very painful. Your rabbit may be holding its eye shut or be scratching the eye with its paw. These are signs that the eye is painful or irritating to your rabbit.
Uveitis is an inflammation of the colored part of the eye (the iris) and the structures around it. Uveitis must be treated readily to prevent glaucoma. Glaucoma is a painful condition that can quickly lead to blindness if left untreated. Take your rabbit to the vet as soon as possible.
An iris prolapse occurs when the part of the eye that constricts and dilates, called the iris, sticks out through the cornea. This is not a common eye problem, but if it occurs in your rabbit, you may see a visible bump on the surface of your rabbit’s eye. Take your rabbit to the vet.
The eye may be punctured, become infected, and abscess. More commonly, the area directly under the eye swells up, and an abscess forms because of a wound around the eye. You may notice that a bump under your rabbit's eye just suddenly appears one day. This is usually caused by a scratch or a bite that got infected.

Sreten null
Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
