Unfortunately no, there is no home treatment for eye tumors. He has to see a vet as soon as possible because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would make a plan to take a trip to take your dog to the nearest vet as soon as possible.

    Poor Jimmy! Unfortunately there are no pain medications you can give him, many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. I would strongly urge you to drive him to the closest vet. That needs sutures to close up, and his eye needs to be checked to make sure there is no damage to it. If there is damage and it's left untreated, he could end up with permanent vision loss. Best of luck.

    I'm sorry you recently lost your job! It is against the user terms of this website to contact an expert outside of the website, so there is no place you can send photos to, but you can share them in a consult. Unfortunately, however, it sounds like your pup has an eye infection, and that requires an immediate trip to the vet. Any eye condition should be considered a medical emergency, as leaving them untreated can lead to vision loss. There are no OTC treatments you can do for him, the medications to treat it can only be prescribed by a vet. I will give you some resources that may help you afford a vet. You can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets Please take him into a vet ASAP.

    I'm sorry this happened and I know you are frustrated but you must remember that dogs, just like humans, don't always respond to treatments and surgery like we hope they would. It is the nature of a living being. So please don't be frustrated with your vets. I am sure they are frustrated too. I, personally, as a vet, would enucleate the eye if it was not healing and the owner has financial constraints. So, I don't find your request that unreasonable. You may have to try a different vet clinic. I suggest you try these resources for help: http://nevadahumanesociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Nevada-Humane-Society-Financial-Assistance.pdf
