Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Bama! I am glad you have an appointment this week. I think Bama should have his eyes looked at today or tomorrow at the latest. It could just be allergies or conjunctivitis but he could have inflammation with in the eyes (uveitis) or scratches on his corneas. The squinting indicates pain. When it comes to eyes its best to have them looked at sooner than later. I hope this helps and i wish Bama the very best!
