Poor Squeak ! Has he had any antibiotics eye drops ? It might be some conjunctivitis or it could be a problem with his teeth as well. It would be best to have him checked over so that the best medicine can be prescribed for him. In the meantime, you can gently clean the eye with cotton wool and lukewarm boiled water.
