Cataract, or what? Pics

TheLittleBunny10 · Aug 29, 2013

I noticed it in Marshmellow's eye, yesterday.
I thought it was a glare, but I don't know.
does it look like a cataract?

It could be, it's hard to tell from pictures.

Although rabbits can get cataracts it is quite rare and usually happens to older bunnies.

A more common problem causing foggy eyes is a parasitic infection such as Encephalitozoan cuniculi.

There is a lab test a veterinarian can order but I believe it is not very accurate.

I have the same think going on with one of our does. I am going to get some panacur tomorrow and start treatment.

Pasturella can also manifest as an infection in the eye and cause a similar effect. Never seen it happen, so I can't at that's what it is, but it is possible.
