Gunky eye and hunched up - please advise!

[CaffeinatedBunnies]

One of my kits has the start of a gunky eye and looks "hunched up" like he's not feeling comfortable. He's one of a litter of 10, the others all look good. He's still nibbling hay and shows interest in oatmeal but the eye and the hunch have me concerned. What should I do?

How old are these kits? Could the eye problem be nestbox eye? I don't know about the hunch tho.....that's not good. I would get that kit separated and quarantined right away....

They're one month old now and have been out of the nest box for a while. I suppose it could be something that got in the eye and irritated it as it looks about the same today. But that hunched up posture...he just looks like an unhappy bunny. I'll get him quarantined; I don't know why I didn't think to do that immediately. Here's hoping it's not the dreaded S word.
