Reign's eyes do look a little irritated to me. Potential causes include allergies, conjunctivitis, bacterial infection, blocked tear ducts, or dust getting in his eyes. If you have some saline for human eyes, you can use it to gently flush the eyes to remove any irritating debris. Continue to monitor him for 1-2 days, if it isn't better or if the redness gets worse, or if there is a yellow/white/green discharge, he may need to be seen by a vet for eye medications.

He may have some mild allergies. If he is pawing at his face, or rubbing his face on the carpet, or if he’s squinting like his eyes hurt, please take him to your vet. Otherwise you could try an antihistamine such as Benedryl. See the attached article for dosing information. https://www.petcoach.co/pet-medication/benadryl/ I hope that’s helpful! Thanks for asking PetCoach!
