yep, i tried that sight nothing close to me, at least the closest is 2 hrs. away and i am not able to take him that far. i am in the process of moving and i cant take off work. then on top of that the majority of vets are closed on the weekends.

I guess if its an eye infection...you can try terramycin. Gentamicin works too.

In the meantime I would wash it out like Catherine said. Maybe a warm shower.... or mist with warm water.

My Veil has a lot of eye issues. He has some discharge that can glue his eyes together in the morning. I use eyewash that you get at the drugstore. I had him to Dr. Greek for a check up and he didn't seem to think anything was needed and thought what I was doing was fine.

I agree with the others although my guys just don't like showers. If he doesn't get some eyewash while you're looking into vets. Douse the eye and with a wet Q-tip gently wipe across the eye lids.

If that doesn't do it you can always use the go to eye ointment Terramiacin.
