There's nothing over the counter that you can safely give to your ferret for discomfort. If you can, make a small e-collar (cone) and place it on Bear to prevent rubbing or pawing at the eye. Ideally, he should be examined by your veterinarian as soon as possible. Potential eye injuries should be considered veterinary emergencies.
