possibly sick bunny?

[PickleTheBunny]

When I woke up this morning Pickle was doing his usual zooming and binkys but later on in the day he started being a little weird.

He’s been hiding a bit excessively and has weepy eyes. He’s been sleeping for awhile now and I saw the weepy eyes after he woke up, so i’m not sure if the weepy eyes where because he just woke up and was going back to sleep. Or if he’s sick. I still got my parents to schedule a rabbit-savy vet just in case but i’m still worried.

(I added pictures of when I saw him have weepy eyes and some after photos)

Just an fyi pickle does free roam 24/7 unless i’m gone for over a full day, I just repurposed the cage my mom bought to double as a litter box and a place to hide.

He could have gotten something in his eye that's irritating it. You can try flushing the eye with a plain sterile ophthalmic saline(eg. natural tears), to try and rinse any debris out. But if that doesn't correct the problem and the eye is still weepy, it's important to have it checked, as something could be stuck in there rubbing against the cornea, or your rabbit could have scratched his cornea and will need the proper ophthalmic eye drops to prevent infection setting in, and help the eye to heal.

Medirabbit: corneal abrasion and ulcer

The most important thing for now, is making sure he is still eating ok. If he's not eating much or at all, then he needs to be seen right away. A rabbit not eating very much or at all, for more than 12-24 hours, is considered an emergency situation, as they can develop GI stasis from the lack of food keeping the digestive tract moving normally.

That makes sense he was hanging out in one of the dusty areas of my room. Other than the weepy eyes he’s still eating hay, pellets, and occasional veggies.
