Squinting can be a sign of a corneal injury. You may not see anything but it could be there. This is painful and could develop into a corneal ulcer. Please take him in for an exam. They will use a special stain in the eye so they can see if there is an injury. I always recommend an exam with any eye problem to prevent a more serious problem from developing. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Luke.
