it sounds like he has an infection so he should be examined by a vet for treatment. Your vet can determine the severity of the injury to his eyes and prescribe medications to help. He may need an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory to treat an infection.

I am concerned that these could be abscesses or even tumors. I would highly encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian. In the meantime warm compresses to the eyes to help loosen discharge may help make him feel better. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon.

That does not look good! Onyx could have injured his eye or have an eye infection. Any eye problem is considered an emergency because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Please take him into a vet now.

It is possible that Winnie has a cataract. However cataracts are not very common in rabbits. I would be more concerned about a possible corneal ulcer or dental disease. A corneal ulcer occurs from trauma or a scratch to the eye. The eye is painful so rabbits will keep the eye shut and it will make the cornea white sometimes. Dental disease can cause discharge from the eye. When the teeth over grow it can put pressure on a duct that causes eye discharge. I would recommend to go to the vet tomorrow and hopefully Winnie will be feeling better soon
