My rabbit is 15 years old, i have had him since was 2 years old, one eye recently went blind, and i think the other did to. He has a random bulge of skin oner his belly, it doesnt hurt him, but i was wondering if anyone knows what it is. He is blind in both eyes, grey clouds, i was wondering if i could buy antibotics. I am taking him to the vet soon, Now he just sits in a corner, and thats all. So is there a cure?

With cloudiness in the eye and age, it's likely your rabbit has cataracts, which require surgery which may or may not be effective, depending. The lump could be a tumor or excess fat...definitely get him to the vet to get checked out.

As far as the eyes, RabbitMage is most likely correct on that, considering your rabbit's age. As far as the stomach, that most likely is a hernia which would have to be stitched up. Hernia's happen every so often in rabbits. It could be a tumor considering the age or possibly even an abscess, however a hernia would be the most likely culprit. And like RabbitMage said it could also just be some excess fat. Have the vet look at it and see.

aw poor thing, it's brilliant that he's 15 years old . wow...
It's isn't a very good idea to try cure him yourself the vet will be able to help. I think there will be a cure and if not then there might be something that will make him feel happier.

I think that the only thing that would help would be an operation performed by a vet, if that is possible. call a vet and ask. they will know if there is anything.
