It does sounds like Moomoo has an infection, but I cannot recommend giving penicillin. He needs to see a vet for this, especially regarding his eyes. Any eye problem has to be seen by a vet promptly as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Please take him into the vet in the morning. Best of luck.
