Hi, sadly I don’ t think there is anything that can be done to save the eye. I think there might be something putting pressure at the back of the eye, something like a retrobulbar abscess. It is difficult to tell obviously without examining him but it does not look like and eye that will improve with eye drops.:-( have you got a vet that could take a look at him ? Is he still eating ? If not, it might be that he is in too much pain.
