Just wanted to make a comment on Angieluv's comment about eyes and EC. That is a symptom that very few know about. Unfortunately, when you see that, the EC is well advanced. Our namesake, Sabrina, had an eye condition. At that time, nobody knew anything about EC....all her problems were diagnosed as "snuffles"....and that is why I absolutely detest that term. It was so wrong. Had we known then what we know now, things might have been different. But back to the eye....EC rabbits are prone to cataracts. Sabrina had a "snow fall"....crystals were actually filling the pupils of her eyes. It looked like white dust in her very black eye. Had she survived, she would have gone totally blind.
This thread also allows me to touch on another eye problem...ulcers.Theseulcers can appear as whitish blisters on the cornea....staining the eye is the appropriate diagnosis.These little boogers are very painful and can lead to sight loss. This is one of those cases when using the wrong medication can bring devastating results. The use of steroids with ulcers can lead to unrepairable damage to the cornea. Ulcers do require aggressive pain meds and support.
Just a little information related to this hopefully resolved issue.
