Fur by eye shed off

[los2511]

Our bunny looked like the fur by his left eye had gotten wet one day, then the next day we noticed it was still looking the same. So we thought maybe it was from his water bottle. On the 3rd day we went to clean out his cage & noticed the hair that looked wet had either shed off completely or was missing somehow. Any thoughts? Here are some pix after the fur loss

Much appreciated on the help!

How old is your bunny?

This could be a lot of things I think, a blocked tear duct (needing to be flushed by a vet), eye, ear or tooth infection (needing antibiotics from the vet), or other things.

I think this one needs a vet.

Sas is right. Watery eyes can be from infection, tear duct blockage, tooth root problems, or even allergies (which are extremely rare, so I wouldn't take that for an answer without having x-rays done to confirm there aren't tooth roots blocking the tear duct). It could be a simple tear duct blockage/infection, especially because he looks like one of the smaller breeds with flat faces that get that more often.
