Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. I would recommend having a veterinarian examine Toby to make sure he does not have any serious trauma to the cornea of the eye that may need to be addressed. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. The sooner you have the eye looked at the better so that any abnormalities can be addressed sooner rather than later.
