Eyedrops - how to administer

Eye problems in rabbits are quite common. Tears quickly wash out any treatment put in the eye so eye drops need to be given several times a day. This means you will have to learn how to give the treatment at home. If you're nervous about giving your rabbit any eye treatment, speak to your veterinarian or nurse for advice.
