Baby Rabbit Eye CareCaring For Baby Rabbit EyesSomewhere around days ten, eleven or twelve, the kits will open their eyes. If there are kits whose eyes are not open by day twelve, I will intervene to help out. I use a sterile eye wash and a clean cotton ball to soak the eyelids for a few minutes (try to warm up the solution a bit if it's very cold). Then, with clean fingers, I gently pry open the eyes. If there was crusty matter keeping the eyes closed, then I apply a one-time application of optic ointment (tri-optic or terramycin ointment). If an eye is full of pus, then I rinse it with the eye wash and use the ointment twice a day for several days--until the symptoms have been gone for twenty-four hours. You should consult your vet before giving medical treatment.
