Anyone have this issue before? I have a 4 day old kit, when I checked the nest the day of birth there was a scratch close to the eye and I was advised that it would heal on its own and it has, but now one eye is visibly swollen and I’m concerned. Anything I can do? Thank you 5F2E0176-4C38-43CB-868F-A314699A1F89.jpeg7E9239F8-449E-4434-BA6E-16C888752B38.jpeg
 
Best bet is probably to get to the vet asap. Eye trauma can lead to infection, glaucoma (one sign of which is swelling), and other serious issues. Sometimes rabbits are born carrying e. cuniculi or pasteurella, which can show up in the eye and sinuses. Good luck 🙏
