Why Are Rabbits' Eyes Red and Watery?

1. Irritation from Foreign Objects

Pet rabbits, with their lively spirits, often dash around when let out of their cages. However, this freedom can sometimes lead to trouble. If they venture into dusty corners or consume rabbit food with excessive dust, their eyes can become irritated, leading to redness and tears. As a pet owner, you can check for any foreign objects by gently cleaning your hands and peering into your rabbit's eyes. If you find something, carefully remove it. Then, use a damp cloth to wipe around the eye area, followed by a dry cloth to gently dry the rabbit's fur. Remember to keep the rabbit's environment clean, especially the corners, to minimize such irritations.

2. Dietrelated Issues

Red eyes and excessive tearing in rabbits can also be a sign of overheating, often caused by a diet rich in spicy or salty human foods. To address this, adjust your rabbit's diet immediately. Avoid feeding them highheat foods and opt for a more balanced, mild diet. Fresh grass and vegetables are excellent choices. Ensure your rabbit stays hydrated by providing plenty of fresh water.

3. Bacterial Infection

Poor hygiene or a damp living environment can lead to bacterial infections in rabbits, which can cause red eyes and excessive tearing. If you notice these symptoms, it's crucial to act promptly. Use a nonirritating wet wipe to clean away tears and discharge, then treat the infection with an appropriate eye drops designed for rabbits. Maintaining a clean and dry living space is key to preventing such infections.

In summary, keeping your rabbit's living area clean and providing a balanced diet are essential in preventing eye issues. The 'Pet Doctor' hopes this information helps you keep your furry friend healthy and happy!
