Like a normal bunny so should i just keep it clean? Well it heal on its own. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 22 days old

If your bunny has an eye ulcer and an actual puncture to her eye, that is unlikely to heal on it's own and she could lose the eye if it gets infected inside the eye or the eye perforates. She needs to see a vet to get some meds into the eye and probably oral meds as well. They can do a test to see how deep the scratch on the eye is to help get her better.
