I just had one of my rosies give birth to a surprise litter last night. All look to be somewhat premature. One seems to have had its eye "dislocated". This definitely looks to be a traumatic injury rather than a birth defect.

I put it in a warm enclosure on moist paper towels and the eye is mostly back in the socket now. The eye is cloudy, swollen, and the pupil is completely dilated. I'm not terribly optimistic about its longterm survival and best case scenario its eye will probably be nonfunctional.

But, is there anything available over the counter that would be safe to apply to the eye that might better the odds? Maybe something that would reduce swelling and prevent infection?
