Hi Jason, it sounds as Louie is either having an eye infection or an eye injury (could be from a scratch or a branch for example), it's sounds quite severe and it bothers him a lot, I would strongly advise that you take him to the vet in order to get it checked, if there is no damage to the eye - a prescription steroids/antibiotic eye drop should solve the problem
