Super irritated, red puffy eye, and he will barely open it
It sounds like your rabbit is experiencing significant discomfort with its eye, which appears red, puffy, and barely open. This could be due to several reasons, including an eye infection, an allergic reaction, or irritation from something in the environment.
First, gently clean the affected eye with sterile saline solution. Use a clean, soft cloth or cotton ball to wipe away any discharge, being very gentle to avoid causing more irritation.
Next, ensure that your rabbit's living area is clean and free from dust or potential irritants. Sometimes, bedding materials can cause allergic reactions or irritation.
Additionally, monitor your rabbit for any other symptoms, such as changes in appetite, behavior, or other signs of illness.
However, given the severity of the symptoms and the fact that they have persisted for several days, I strongly recommend taking your rabbit to a veterinarian as soon as possible. Eye issues can escalate quickly and may require specific treatments such as antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications that only a vet can prescribe.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
