Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Poor Trouble! When it comes to eyes it is best to have them evaluated by a Vet. Medications need to be prescribed that are safe to be put in the eye. He likely has doggie pink eye, conjunctivitis or allergies. But he could have a corneal scratch, dry eye or even worse glaucoma or uveitis. There are no at home medications that are safe to put in the eye. You can warm compress the eye (be sure you can tolerate it on your skin) twice daily and try an antihistamine (read the below link). Otherwise Trouble should see your vet. I hope this helps and I wish Trouble a speedy recovery! https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/
