How should I treat my rabbit’s eye with anti-inflammatory ointment, and what if the bump is hard?

Bulging, red, watering rabbit eyes usually point to conjunctivitis, which can progress to pus, ulcers, and blindness if untreated.

Common Parrot Eye Diseases and Treatment
Parrots commonly face keratitis, conjunctivitis, and cataracts. Keratitis ranges from surface scratches (tearing, light sensitivity) to deep or penetrating wounds threatening sight, treated by removing debris and antibiotic drops in dim light.

Hamster’s eye crusted shut with discharge, used iodine and erythromycin, left eye red, no improvement in 3 weeks
Tearing without other signs suggests simple conjunctivitis from bacteria or allergy. Use conjunctivitis eye drops and pause dusty wood shavings/bath sand; clean the cage every 2-3 days and keep warm. If tearing with nasal discharge (a cold) and no improvement in 3 weeks, see a vet for targeted meds rather than blind dosing.
When can stitches be removed after a female dog’s spay surgery?

Why Does a Kitten Have So Much Eye Discharge?
Excessive eye discharge in kittens usually points to a dusty environment, a diet that is too salty or low in water, a bacterial or viral infection, dacryocystitis, or feline herpesvirus (cat flu). Clear, watery discharge from irritation can simply be wiped away, but yellow-green, sticky, or painful eyes need a vet's diagnosis and targeted treatment. If discharge comes with lethargy or loss of appetite, see a veterinarian promptly to avoid complications.
