Poor Buddie! It sounds like he has an eye infection. Dogs can get eye infections from bacteria, scratches on the cornea or not producing enough tears. These conditions need to be treated by the veterinarian and I recommend to have him examined today if possible. He should also wear an Elizabethan collar to protect the eyes from rubbing as this tends to make it worse. I hope he starts feeling better quickly and please feel free to post any additional questions!
