I am very sorry to hear about Tom. Unfortunately without medication from the vet there isn't a whole lot you can do for him. You can rinse the eye with a sterile eye wash solution and use a clean wet cloth to wipe away discharge. If he is rubbing his eye then an e-collar (the lampshade type collar) can be helpful to prevent self-trauma and also keeping him indoors to avoid potential exposure to dirt. The vet will examine the eye and likely prescribe antibiotic ointment and pain medication for him.
