zanthessWe got him into an ophthalmologist today to check his eyes. Unfortunately he has E. Cuniculi, a parasite that infects rabbits while still in the womb. Luckily we were able to catch it before it spread to his brain and nervous system.
Bad news is his left eye is completely blind, and there's a 70% chance that he will lose the sight in his right eye. There's already a small lesion, so we are keeping him on anti-inflammatories to help with pain, and meds to get rid of the parasite.
We're looking on the bright side of all of this: when we get a new home this coming spring (hopefully a rental house), we're planning on getting him a sighted girlfriend so that he can feel more secure with a close friend.
