All I can see is that the eye is red and he is squinting it a little. It could be due to an injury to the cornea or some type of trauma. I highly recommend you have him to your vet for an exam. The eye needs to be checked with an ophthalmoscope and have a stain test - obviously we can only tell so much from a photo. I don't think it is an emergency but try to get him examined as soon as you can get an appointment. In the meantime you can use this eye gel to see if it will help: ( )

    It's probably an eye infection although it could also be a foreign body or an eye injury. with eye problems i always urge my clients to come the same day because eye damage can be permanent, if your vet cannot see him before Friday i would advise looking for another vet in your area that will be willing to see him today.
