https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/25356/rabbit-epiphora-facial-swelling Hello, I have been seeing a 3yr old FN mini lop who had epiphora from her left eye. Not milky looking grossly. It flushed easily and although not obviously milky did have bacteria on microscopy so she has been medicated with oral antibiotics and antibioticsen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/173437?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 01 Feb 2017 19:42:56 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:1b5483c7-f647-44b2-a3b9-ef87abe47db3Marie Kubiak<p>The plan to xray to look at cheek tooth roots and to do dacryocystography sounds sensible to me - I assume epiphora is dental in origin until proven otherwise! The intermittent swelling does sound a bit odd though - the only thing I can think of that may be related to the epiphora is an intermittent leakage from the nasolacrimal duct causing cellulitis but this would not usually wax and wane. A complete intraoral exam under sedation may help if there is a FB/ulcer causing swelling, or to allow a biopsy collection at an active stage? If there was scabbing then treponema may be a consideration. If environmental (e.g. chemical/irritant plant) then it seems odd that it is unilateral.</p> <p>Marie</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
