My bunny has a red spot on her eyelid. When should I see a vet?

Question

Hi, I’ve just noticed a small red spot on one of my bunnies upper eye lids, her eye isn’t weeping and she seems fine in herself eating and drinking etc, I was just wondering if I should bring her in this week or monitor it incase it’s nothing too serious, I’ve attached a picture below. Thank you in advance :). Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 10 months old | 5 lbs

It looks like she may have a blocked tear duct or small infection in her tear gland. You could try putting a warm compress over the eye a few times a day and see if that helps reduce the swelling. If the swelling becomes worse or he starts pawing at her eye because of discomfort I would take her in the be checked out.
