Hasenpfeffer, our 4 1/2 year old dwarf dutch rabbit is blind in his right eye. He has been for a year (cataract). Last weekend, his blind eye turned another color.

I do believe that Nami may be turning the corner. He is doing a lot better, so I am cautiously optimistic. He was doing better the last time, then got worse, so we will see if this is for real.
