Film over Ivy's eye

Ivythelionhead · Jul 4, 2014

My Ivy had a case of pink eye yesterday and everyone on here told me to call a vet which I did but today it's got a film over it like you see in animals that have gone blind but the vet can't see him till next week what can I do?

Update? Did you call the vet and ask for over-the-phone assistance?

Call the vet and demand he be seen asap as the problem is emergency in nature. Or, find a more responsive vet.

Do you mean the inside of the eye has gone cloudy? That I think would mean either an infection in the eye or a parasite like E. Cuniculi protazoa is in the eye. Your will probably need a really good rabbit vet or exotic vet for that. Not just a regular cat and dog vet.

Here is a link to a photo with a rabbit with e. cuniculi protozoa in eye. So if its like that you should probably treat with anti-protazoal meds.

Sorry everyone, it's been a while since I responded I did go see a vet and he gave me some meds for her eye he said she ppb scratched it or poked it with something and it got infected anyway I have been giving her meds twice a day right on her eye and I'm going to see him either 2morriw or the next day as a follow up but the last time I saw him he said it was looking pretty good
