If Levi has been scratching and rubbing at his eye it is possible that he has scratched the cornea (the clear part of the eye). You would need to get treatment from a veterinarian to fix this problem. In the meanwhile you can examine the eye closely to see if there is anything stuck in there. If not, or if the redness does not resolve in the next day or two, you should take him to the veterinarian for treatment. Good luck! I hope Levi is feeling better soon.
