Hi. I'm new here, and was wondering if anyone has encountered something like this.
I have a 6 month old mini lop who eats mainly Timothy hay and a small handful of pellets. Occasionally we will give her a small treat of a raisin or a few bites of dried fruit. She hasn't started eating fresh veggies yet, just because she usually won't when we try to give it to her.
She is a vibrant bunny, doing all of the usual bunny things. She just began to become an adult bunny, so we're encountering all sorts of new behaviors, but she seems very happy overall.
The other day, we noticed a white spot in her normally very dark right eye. At first, we thought maybe it was a little bit of mucus that we could just wipe away, or maybe a fuzz or something. Upon closer inspection, we realized that the white spot was actually inside her eye, under the lens. You can tell that it is 3 dimensional when you look at it. It doesn't seem to bother her at all.
When we took her to the vet, we had her blood tested for a bunch of things. They discovered that she has E. cuniculi. We have been treating her for that, and giving her eye drops. But the vet seemed to be uncertain as to what this thing actually was.
She thinks it is some sort of pus that developed deep in her eye, and is leaking through the pupil over the iris a little.
Has anyone else encountered this? If so, what is it?
In the week or so since we started treatment, there seems to be more of whatever it is, and its bright white color has faded. I am really hoping it is nothing, especially since it doesn't really bother her.
Any thoughts?
