The American rabbit’s eyes are a fragile feature and require constant care and attention even if it’s just a quick glance to make sure all is well. There may be times when you check your rabbit and notice his eye is irritated or even swollen. If this happens, call your vet to schedule an exam. On rare occasions, your American rabbit may actually have an eye that is bulging or appears to be coming out of the socket. This usually happens as a result of an injury that causes pressure to build up behind the eye. In this case, you should quickly cover the eye with a damp, clean cloth and hold it in place with a loosely wrapped bandage around the head. If possible, soak the cloth in warm, salty water to help preserve the eye especially if it’s out of the socket already. Take your rabbit to the veterinarian Louisville, CO or call an emergency vet immediately.
