This could be an eye infection or Joey may have injured his eye. Any eye problem should be seen by a vet promptly as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I'd take him into the vet in the morning. Best of luck.

    It Lobo as Louie is suffering from an eye infection, it is relatively common in dogs. you will need to take him to the vet the first chance you get, the vet will check the eyes, if it is indeed a simple eye infection your vet will prescribe an antibiotic eye drops that will probably solve the problem in no time.
