We had 2 chin kits that their eyes were'nt opening.
I did the daily warm compress & slowly assisting it open.
It worked for one, but the other still has one eye that is not opening.
Do I just continue? See how it thrives? They are meat rabbits, so it's not going to the vet.
Any other ideas?


Thanks..........

I just had one that I had to wash out every day for several days. Every morning it was stuck again. I'd take it in the house and gently wipe it with a soft cloth and warm water until I was able to work it open. Eventually it didn't gunk up and stay closed. I have no idea what caused it on this one but funny enough, it was extremely friendly and would always run to the front of the cage to say hi when I came by. It loved being held after that. Good luck!

I had one of those once. I did the warm cloth thing, but I put a little chamomile tea on it. It's very gentle. Worked like a charm.
