Blepharospasm

Blepharospasm is any abnormal contraction or twitch of the eyelid, which can be seen in rabbits with various eye conditions. It is usually a sign of an underlying cause and may indicate the rabbit is experiencing discomfort, so it is important that your rabbit has appropriate veterinary treatment.

In cases of blepharospasm, the eyelid may appear red or swollen
