  When I was playing with my bunny last night, I discovered that he has a white bump in the corner the his left eye (which the right eye does not have). It is certainly not the normal white part of his eye because it is a bump instead of being a smooth surface, hard to describe here so i inserted a picture. However, it does not seem to bother him. But I am still concerned since he would not let me touch it. Does anyone know what this is or should i take him to the vet?

  Is it a bump or a glob of discharge? If it’s an actual bump, then it could be a meibomian cyst.

  It’s hard to tell from the photo, but it could be the edge of his third eyelid (which is not always visible in all buns)

  That’s a thought too Q8. Wooly’s sticks out all the time due to an injury when he was young. His is pink though.

  Did the bump get any worse? Really looks like the cyst that @LBJ10 mentioned though.
  But of course he wouldn’t feel comfortable letting you touch it. It’s like someone poking you in the eye. If it’s a glob you can try washing out the eye with a sterile eye wash (not contact solution).
  
  Def get it checked out by the vet if you still feel worried. It could just be something cosmetic.
