        Hey everyone!
        It has been a long time since I visited binkybunny.com I have been so busy with work lately. Anyways, I have a question. For the past few days the fur around the tear duct of one of Cookie’s eyes has been wet. I waited for a little to see if it was something that would go away, but it remained. I am making an appointment with the vet so I can take him in on Thursday. Do you think that it is necessary to take him to the vet for this? Also, do you think Thursday is too late? One more question, do you think it is something serious? I don’t think it means that he has tooth problems cause his teeth are healthy and short. Also, he is two years old and not at the age where rabbits are prone to having tooth problems. What do you guys think the wetness may be? 

        Thank you!

          It could be a number of things and yes, I would recommend taking him to the vet to have the vet do a physical exam to determine the cause of the wetness.

            Like Sarita said, it could be a number of things. It’s best to have a vet check to see what the problem is. If you can get him in on Thursday, then that is probably fine.

              Even at two years old, it could be a dental problem, a tear duct issue, or even just something that has irritated his eye. Good idea getting an appointment this week. Have him checked out and let us know how it goes!
