What fluid do I use to flush my bunny’s eye out. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 15 days old | 5 lbs

You should not need to flush your bunny's eyes, as a healthy bunny should not have a discharge from his eye. If you think there is a lot of dust that is bothering your rabbit and you want to remove that you can gently flush the eyes with some 0.9% saline solution available from your pharmacy. If there is a discharge of pus or if you think there is a bigger foreign body that needs to be removed, your bunny needs to be seen by a veterinarian, as your bunni could be suffering from an upper respiratory infection, or a nasty abscess, or tooth problems.
