Can a rabbit live if it is blind?

My rabbit has recently had an eye infection in both eyes and I think that it might be blind. I was wondering if a rabbit could possibly live comfortibly without sight.Can a rabbit live if it is blind?
yes keep cage clean and the lay out always the same


Keep water and food fresh


Mine is going on 5 yrs old


why did it get an eye infection in the first place?Can a rabbit live if it is blind?
Yes.As long as the infection and the threat to the life the rabbit is gone and removed by a registered veterinarian.Rabbits going blind are rare.It mostly just happens to deformed kits from wrong breeding procedures.Usually,they live shorter lives than others.They are also more prone to accidents due to their inability to see things around them.





It will live but I doubt that the ';comfortable living'; part would be fulfilled.


...
If it only had one blind eye i would say yes though if its both eyes i dont think thats right its better to have it put down as much as i love bunnies its cruel. It would be so uncomfortable for the poor little thing it would live in peace the other way. Though take it to the vet and see what they say.
If it knows it cage well enough and you don't change the boundaries it has then sure why not. Give it a chance and if it doesn't work out then you can change your mind- but give it a shot first.
yeah they can frist its might be ahrd but in a week it will get to know were its food and everythign make sure when u clean the cage and everything put everything in the saem spot
Of course it can live.. it will need help, but it can


btw, I love the name 'Niamh'
just as well as you can
Have it put away and give your rabbit a good ending.
sure, why not.


also, why did you not go to the vet?
yeah only if it's given a walking twig and a helper-mouse.
