Blind wild rabbit - Myxomatosis

The young rabbits that we have been watching from our dining room window for about one month are now showing signs of myxomatosis.
Guessing that they started to venture outside their den when they were about two weeks old, they should be only about 6 weeks old.
Their eyesight deteriorated very quickly (within one week).
Their eyes are red, swollen and even runny. In the clip below, you can see that one of the siblings with a healthy eye.
You would not believe these are the same cute rabbits that I posted picture of recently.


Below are pictures of an older rabbit I took a few weeks ago with the same condition.
