My rabbits eyes are releasing milky white discharge and has swollen up .. right now I am not able to contact our vet and don't have any other vet near so what home base remedy should I use .:(
 
Your rabbit may have conjunctivitis or other eye infection. Finding an experienced rabbit vet would be the best thing, but if you can't then I would use an ophthalmic antibiotic eye drop such as gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, or neomycin/polysporin eye ointment, applied to the eyes at least every 12 hours(depending on which eye drop is used) and for 10-14 days minimum, to help get rid of the infection. It's also important to ensure your rabbit continues to eat, drink, and poop normally. If your rabbit isn't eating very well then you may need to do supplemental syringe feeds(very carefully to prevent aspiration).

Welcome to RO, by the way! I'm sorry you found us under troubling circumstances, but I hope you stick around and check out all the other great info our community has to offer.

JBun always gives great advice, so I would follow what she suggested and get your bunny to the vet as soon as you're able to (make sure to tell your vet what at-home remedies you've already used, how often and whether or not you saw improvement when using them).
