Hereditary glaucoma
-
This condition was common among a line of purebred rabbits at a breeding establishment. The owners described it as 'blue eye'. It is also known as 'moon eye'. The condition is caused by congenital glaucoma. It is a hereditary problem that is passed down the generations. It can affect one or both eyes and eventually leads to blindness. Trauma to the surface of the eye can happen easily because the eyeball protrudes and is blind to objects that can damage it.

Mild epiphora
-
This rabbit has mild epiphora.There was no conjunctivitis and no pus could be expressed from the lacrimal sac by applying pressure to the medial canthus of the eye. Tears were overflowing down the face because the tear duct was blocked by the apex of the large upper incisor that was elongated.

Relationship of nasolacrimal duct with apex of large upper incisor (labelled)
-
This skull is from a wild rabbit. Part of the bony canal that encloses the nasolacrimal duct has been removed to expose the duct within it. The duct bends medially at the apex of the large upper incisor. Only a small amount of apical elongation would compress the duct at that point.

Retrobulbar abscess
-
This rabbit had an abscess affecting the apices of the caudal maxillary cheek teeth. The eye is being pushed out of the socket by the abscess. Only one eye is affected, and it is still salvageable. The next step is radiography and/or CT scanning. Examining the teeth under anaesthetic is important both prior to and during surgery. This case responded well to abscess surgery without enucleating the eye.
