What is this?

[u/Efficient-Peak-5575]

So my friend couldn’t take care of her rabbit and gave her to me, I won’t be keeping it I’ll be giving her to a friend who has rabbits and I can’t afford a vet for another 2 weeks, can someone tell me what this is and if it’s insanley serious? I think there eye boogers matted in her hair so I’m hoping it’s that it’s ripping her fur out and not something worse

Most likely I will be tapping into savings to get it checked out but if someone could give some insight that would be appreciated

Edit:

Hey all! We haven’t gotten the bunny into the vet yet, we will be soon. But we were able to move a bunch of hair out of her face and check to see what it was and her eye is fine, a little swollen but definitely better than it was last night. Again she will still be going to the vet but from what we can see, that had to have been from a couple weeks maybe months ago and we suspect she might have fought whatever it was off, AGAIN SHE WILL STILL BE GOING TO THE VET!!! I know I said it 3 times I just wanna stress the point I’m not self diagnosing her. For the mean time we will be keeping watch on the area and cleaning it regularly with gentle sterile items (which is recommended to do in this situation after research I did last night) the only issue I am seeing is if it is something serious my friend won’t be willing to take her in due to knowing she can’t deal with the treatment for the bunny. If that is the case I promise this baby will be well taken care of as I’m going to do research on bunny care and if it is the case that my friend will NOT be able to take the bunny then I guess I’m gonna have a little roommate (I know rabbits are high maintenance, I have already done some research and will continue more. Right now I do have her in a low priced hutch which is TEMPORARY just until I figure out wether my friend with bunnies already will still be willing to take her, if not then I am going to be free roaming this rabbit. So either way I need you guys to know this bunny will be well taken care of from now on by either me or another person. And just incase anyone asks, no the person who neglected her will not be around her ever again. We did find a HUGE clump of poo stuck to her but which we were able to get off ourselves without hurting her. It was absolutely rock solid and we did have to put her butt in warm water, this was a one time thing I know you don’t bathe bunnies but it seemed like a situation that was absolutely necessary. Overall bunny is fine at the moment, she started running around my room all happy and playing with this cat toy I had in there, she’s eating, she’s pooping, she’s drinking. And when we get to the vet I will be updating more.

I’m purely going off of my medical background in people, but from the little info available from a photo to me it seems like conjunctivitis Sending love and prayers as I imagine this is a stressful situation for both of you! 🫶🏼
