I noticed the other day that Cuppie's eye wasn't opened all the way. (She's one of my rabbits) I examined it more closely and noticed that her eye lids seemed to be swollen and were really red. I immediately made her an appointment which I took her to yesterday. The doctor put a stain in her eye to check for scratches. She definitely has an abrasion. He believes it looks like a chemical burn, but that isn't possible. There is absolutely nothing near the cage that could cause that and they are never let out without close supervision. I think her sister probably scratched her because Cuppie also has hair missing on her nose where her sister pulls it out when they fight. Either way, it ended up costing me $102. Just for the visit, the stain, and eye drops that I have to give her 3 times a day, which I'm not even home enough to do.
She was very stressed out by her visit. After I gave her the drops last night she went into a corner under my desk ans lay there, refusing to move or go back into the cage. I left her out as long as I could while her sister jumped and danced around the room. Once her sister started being a nuisance, I had to chase her back into the cage and drag her sister out of the corner to put her back as well.
All I know for sure is that these animals make me a nervous wreck.
