Your rabbit has wolf teeth also known as maloclussion. Rabbit teeth grow about 1/2 inch per month. You'll need to keep clipping the teeth every couple of weeks so the teeth don't get too long.
If you are a breeder, I would not recommend using that buck to breed with and there are several reasons why.
Maloclussion is a trait that is passed along genetically. So if you breed that buck to your does he will pass that trait down along to the babies and you don't want that. Secondly, you already mentioned that he has had a cold. If you breed with him while he has a cold or if he is in the same cage with the does while he has a cold, he could easily pass the cold to the does. And that wouldn't be good at all. Third, disease resistance is another trait that gets passed down genetically in rabbits. That buck isn't very disease resistant and if you raise rabbits out of him you'll have trouble with the babies and diseases.
So here are some recommendations:
1.) Don't use the buck for breeding
2.) Keep him away from the does (quarantine him).
3.) The eye drops should fix the watery eye
4.) Clip the teeth regularly (once every 1-2 weeks or so)
5.) Have the vet treat the rabbit for a cold. The vet will probably give it a shot or might give you some Terramycin to add to it's water.
One thing is for sure, I definitely wouldn't use that rabbit for breeding.

this conventional guy grew to become into rude yet in addition good. Even tho he's fixed he continues to be a rabbit. i think of they may well be greater appropriate of separated until she is super enogh to shelter herself. Male rabbits could be shielding even while they're attempting to instruct off to the ladies they get all jumpy. She kinda small perfect to attend:)

I am not sure what your rabbit has, but you should check on the females to see if they are doing the same.

It seems alright to me.
But if you are still worried, you should bring casey to the vet for a checkup.
