I can't work out whether Winifred has a problem with her eye or not.
Yesterday late afternoon, while they were in the outdoor rink, I noticed her right eye seemed slightly closed compared with her left, and also was watering a bit more. So I checked more closely when I took them out of the cage to go back in the hutch. All I could see was that the membrane seemed to cover part of the eye, like when you rub your eye too much. There was no redness or obvious foreign body in it. I decided to wait and see if maybe a bit of dust had irritated it and it would wash out overnight. This morning it looks like in the top photo, pretty normal I think. But there is still a little extra dampness I think and she closes it slightly every so often.
So I can't tell still if there is something that needs vet attention. Under present circumstances I don't want to bother the vet unnecessarily.
I took the second photo of her other eye for comparison, the only big difference I can see is the red reflection ... Maybe I'm missing something?
Any advice would be appreciated!
