Hi. My netherland dwarf first time mom gave birth to 4 kits June 13, 2019. Two have survived since then. I thought they were peanuts honestly and didnt expect them to make it this long. At 4 days old, mama bunny accidentally clipped baby boy bunny eye with her nail, and his eye never healed. I was told to boil water and drain it once a day, and he always let me never showed discomfort. The eye drains a thick white milky substance. Then it scabs over and we do the whole process again. Still he ate and was just as active as his sister. But 2 days ago I noticed a difference in their sizing of the two. Sister has gotten pretty plump and bigger. He doesnt look like he is keeping up. Her eyes opened last night. And I helped his eyes open. Which naturally his eye that has had substance and such issues is barely there and what I did she is extremely cloudy looking. But the other eye is blue and beautiful. But o was worried that now sister is hogging all the milk so I'm making sure mom is feeding him twice a day, which mom is a champ letting me assist him. I was told to get neosporin now over his eye. But everyone is treating it like its nest box eye and I dont thinknthats it at all. But since the neosporin started this morning. No more drainage and he is active for the most part. But no where near ready to leave the nest box where I feel his sister is. Is he in fact a peanut and not meant to make it. I've gotten so attached to him just because I cant imagine how painful it was to get cut and live through and have to have it drained every day and he takes it with no cry or buck up...and gladly eats from momma right after. Advice please and thank you...or information on how to know I wont just walk out tomorrow and he isnt breathing. Thank you so much
