Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could potentially be due to something like a corneal ulcer, conjunctivitis or some form of trauma to the eye. I highly recommend that you have Rocky evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to take a close look at the eye and recommend any treatments based on how it looks. In the meantime, try to avoid Rocky being able to scratch at the eye to avoid any further injury. Good luck and have a good night!
