I'm sorry Baby isn't doing well! Unfortunately there is nothing you can give him OTC. Rabbits are very sensitive to medications, and giving him a human one that isn't prescribed by a vet can be fatal. I would keep putting the warm wash cloth on his eye and get him into a vet asap. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with it should be considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I hope this helps, take Baby into a vet right away.

Hello. Eye infections can get pretty bad very quickly, & for an animal that really depends on its sight to live, this can be critical. You can try using the over the counter Vetericyn ophthalmic gel, but please try to have Julian seen as soon as possible. He depends on you for this. Take care.
