Rabbit eye looks infected

[Shontelle]

My Netherland dwarf has had a yucky eye for a couple of days now. I washed it out yesterday with salty water but it has returned today. I washed it out at about 9;30 this morning only to see at 1;00 that it has returned pretty bad. His eye looks squinty and im not sure what to do. my initial thought was that something has gotten into it because it has happened similarly before however goes away when I wash it. my other thought was that I have a free range make bunny which does squirt his wee around sometimes and a bit of that may have gone in his eye. however it is pretty bad and unsure what to do. im also not sure if I can just dab betadine on his eye .

Use Terramycin, you can order online or some feed stores carry it. Don't use anything not marked ophthalmic in the eyes.

He just came back from the vet, she thinks it may be a bad case of conjunctivitis. Her other thought is that it has to do with his eye, but we are treating it as conjunctivitis for now. He has been given pain killers which he takes every 2 days and have been given a cream which I put directly into his eye. Aha he also is a tad on the heavy side weighing in at 1.9 kg and is a Netherland dwarf. Thanks for your help and advice.

Terramycin from Rural King (or whatever farm supply store you have) will take care of it. 2-3 days and its gone. A lot cheaper than a vet visit.
