It looks like the conjunctiva is swollen and irritated. You can try some beandryl twice a day as well as some artificial tear drops to help flush the eye. If it isn't improving within 24 hours or if he is messing with it or squinting, I would have have your vet take a look at it. Your vet will be able to pull the lids back and get a better look at it and also make sure there isn't a scratch or ulcer on the eye. Your vet will be able to prescribe him the appropriate meds and eye meds to help him feel better. I hope this helps! https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/
