small eyes

Question
I have a 2 month old rabbit and his eyes did not open all the way. He eats and drinks normal, will his eyes eventually open or can I take him ti the vet to get cured. Is he partially blind?

Answer
Dear Maria,

If the eyes opened at all so that the pupil was exposed at the normal time (10-12 days of age), then he's probably not blind.  But I can't tell without examining him.

I would get him to a good rabbit vet for evaluation and possible treatment:

to prevent any further problems or complications, and make sure his eyes are as open as they can be.  The vet may be able to help, even with minor surgery.

Hope this helps.
