I’m sorry to hear you’re having this problem with Peanut! Unfortunately, without being able to actually examine his eye, I’m afraid it’s not possible to know what the problem is. It does sound like something is wrong, so I would recommend taking him in for an exam as soon as possible. If cost is a concern, I would try calling and talking to the veterinarian who has been treating him about your concerns. They may be able to work with you on getting him in for a recheck, since this has been an ongoing problem for him and they’re already familiar with his case.
