PLEASE HELP!!! My dwarf rabbit Willow got an eye infection about 3 weeks ago. We thought it was allergies at first because of the change in our weather, but after it wouldn't go away, I knew something was wrong. Willow gets beyond stressed during car rides, so I really didn't want to have to take him to the vets. I begged the vet's to give me some cream without having to see him, but after they said that I HAD to bring him in, we made the horrid trip. He had nothing in his eye, and no scratches (they put the dye in there), so they said to just put cream in it. I had to sit in the vets office for 30 minutes, just so Willow could settle down. He was breathing so hard, I thought he was going to have a heart attack. Finally, I decided that it was just better to get him home. It was a horrible ride home because he was breathing so hard.
A week later, cream inserted three times a day, and his eye is still watery. I called asking for another cream, and they said that I would have to bring him back in because they would need to do more testing. She also said that they may have to sedate him, to check. I WILL NOT put him through sedation!!! I hear that rabbits have a really low tolerance for it, and I don't have enough faith in my vet to accomplish a safe level of it. So what can I do??? Please, I am open to anything, except having to take him back to the vets. It isn't seeping pus, just water. He also doesn't act like it hurts. He is almost 6 years old, so the less stress...the better.
