Poor Harley! It sounds like he could have an eye infection or may have injured his eyes. He needs to see a vet as soon as possible for this problem. Any eye problem is considered an emergency because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Please take him into a vet for treatment. Best of luck.
