What causes male rabbit eyes to weep and how do you treat it?

Answer 1

Your rabbit may be suffering from a Pasteurella infection. You need to take it to the vet so that you can get it treated or the infection will continue to get worse. Depending on the severity, your vet will either give you an eyedrop solution or an oral antibiotic medication (most likely Baytril). Be careful about which antibiotic your vet prescribes, the drugs in the -cillin family (Amoxicillin, Ampicillin) are toxic to rabbits. (A note: if your vet doesn't know that, it's time to get another vet, because if a vet is going to treat rabbits he or she should know this very basic fact about their treatment.)

== == == == If the eye weeping is accompanied by yellowish discharge, redness in or around the eye, or swelling you should probably take the rabbit to a veterinarian as these are all signs of an eye infection. There are ointments a vet can prescribe that you put into the rabbit's eye.

Answer 2

Male rabbit eyes may weep due to dental issues, respiratory infections, Allergies, or eye injuries. Treatment involves identifying and addressing the underlying cause, such as providing dental treatment, antibiotics for infections, or allergy management. A veterinarian should diagnose the specific cause and provide appropriate treatment.
