Hi Bern-
Can you clarify what you mean by \"not getting any nearby vet to treat your rabbit?\" They aren\'t treating the problem or you don\'t live near a Vet?
If the scratch has not healed after a few days unfortunately an untreated corneal scratch can likely result in a infection which could proliferate into other worse things like an ulcer which can cause a scar, depending on the location, potentially causing blindness in that eye. A Vet should perscribe an antibiotic ointment to be put in that eye. There are no home remedies that I know of that will suffice.
