Hi Doreena,
Damn dont you hate it when your little ones get sick....i just feel so bad
for them and want miracles to happen to make them better....
Unfortunatley when it comes to eyes....it can be quite dangerous to play vet
as things can go down hill pretty quickly...i would be taking your little
rabbit back to the vet asap....especially if you have had him on injections
for 5 days...its obviously not working if there is blood in the eye....

I dont know what the cream is....probably a steroid....but i wouldnt have
thought massaging the eye would be good for it....but im no Vet.
If you do want to try something.....try bathing the eye with a salt water
solution...like a cup of water with a pinch of salt...ide do that 5 times a
day if possible.....but really....the vet is your best choice....i hope he
gets better real soon....let us know how he goes....i used to breed
rabbits.....so i know how much they can mean to us.....good luck
deb
