I would take Shay into a vet now. Any eye infection should be considered an emergency, as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. The vet can prescribe an antibiotic eye ointment to treat the infection.

This is a medical emergency, and Rileigh has to see a vet immediately. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with it should be considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. He needs veterinary care now, please take him into a vet right away.
