At 3/4 weeks of age your Rabbit should still be with his/her Mother. I assume this is the case ?

It sounds as though the Rabbit has an infection in the eye and it is absolutely essential this is treated by a Vet. If the infection is not treated the Rabbit could end up losing his/her eye :cry: He/she will also be in some pain and this could result in him/her not eating and ending up with gut problems too :cry:

As a 'first aid' measure you can very gently bathe the eye using plain sterile water. But I must emphasise again the importance of getting the Rabbit seen by a Vet today (within the next 24 hours)

Good luck
