Rabbit - blocked tear duct
π° Does your bunny have watery eyes? Any excessive tearing, damp fur around their eyes, or discharge? ποΈ
A common reason is a blocked tear duct β here, at our Yishun clinic, Dr Esther is preparing to flush the tear duct gently to remove the blockage.
Blocked tear ducts (nasolacrimal duct obstruction) prevent tears from draining into the nose, causing them to overflow onto the face. Rabbits are often susceptible to this condition as their tear ducts are long, thin, and prone to blockage.
To address this issue, besides flushing the tear duct, it may also be necessary to conduct thorough eye and dental exams to identify the underlying cause. π¦· Dental issues are a potential cause, as the tear ducts in rabbits sit very close to the teeth β abnormalities around certain molar roots can press on the tear duct and cause narrowing or complete obstruction.
π If infection or swelling is present, antibiotic or anti-inflammatory treatments may also be required.
Our furkids' eye health is vital to their overall well-being. If you notice signs of tearing or discomfort, consult your veterinarian promptly.

Playtime at the vet's! ππ§Έ Many of our patients, like these two mischievous kittens, feel at ease and happy at our clinic, thanks to our Fear-Free approach to veterinary care.
When we prevent and reduce the pet's fear, anxiety, and stress, that can help make the vet visit more likely to be successful and ensure a positive experience for all. π
We love playing with our patients (if they are physically well and up for it!) and have plenty of treats on hand to help them feel more relaxed. Our Yishun clinic also has a cat tree in the consultation room for our feline patients to climb to their heart's content. The many other Fear-Free methods we apply include using towels and blankets, touch gradient, soothing music, and more.

We treat all patients like our own pets! ππ¦ Dr Esther chats and sings to Engo here, a 20-year-old African Grey parrot who came in due to feather plucking. Engo is quite a character. πΊπ
At Paws N' Claws Vet, we shower our patients with love and compassion, take care of them with utmost dedication, and you can bet we find all their unique, funny personalities endearing! π Every furry, feathered, or scaly friend is treated like family.
In line with our #FearFree philosophy, we aim to make their experiences at our clinic as positive as possible, because visiting the vet does not have to be stressful or scary. :-)
