I agree about the cause of the red eyes. I can't see why the vet wants to do an X-ray. What could that possibly tell him about Fred's eyes.
I have never heard of anyone keeping a rabbit on newspaper. She probably does it because it is cheaper. The ink used in newspapers could also be an irritant to Fred's eyes. Newspapers are not sold as animal bedding.
She is really going to do it all wrong isn't she. Can you get Fred back? It would mean that you never have to deal with her again. Poor Fred.
My sympathies to you both. I know how upsetting it can be to deal with situations like this.
I think in future when I sell any rabbits I'm going to insist that they bring the carrier with them to the shed and not allow the animal to be carried in their arms to the car. Can't allow any to get stressed like that again. I'm also going to get a Rabbit Care Sheet typed up and handed out to the unexperienced rabbit (or even guinea pig) owners.
Because they had rabbits before I wrongly assumed that they knew how to keep them. I still can't believe that they use on newspaper as bedding. She never answered my last message when I advised that they get some proper bedding for him. I can't get him back not unless they turn around and give him back. I'm just hoping that they do the right thing by him and start to look after him properly.
