Rabbit

Advice for caring for a visually impaired bunny?

My baby, Casper (4 y/o), has developed cataracts pretty suddenly (in pic 2). I took him to a vet on Thursday who said they think it’s a slim chance that it’s e. cuniculi but that we can treat him for it just in case. Unfortunately, the cataract in his right eye is mature and so he has no vision in that eye. He is also developing one in his left eye, but not as severe. The vet did an eye pressure test and concluded that the pressures are good and he’s not in any pain (thank goodness!) but that we’ll want to check his eyes about every 6 months.

I want to make sure he continues to live the best and happiest life I can give him. Does anyone have advice for caring for a visually impaired bunny? What are some things I should do to make things easier for him? I’d appreciate any advice I can get. Also, any insight on how this may affect his (not bio) sister?

Thank you!

    I suggest getting another rabbit for DEAF ones usually so another rabbit would help your rabbit out and take care of them, but im not sure how this would imply to a visually impaired rabbit, i believe itd work the same though possibly
