Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. I would recommend having James examined by a veterinarian to ensure that he does not have an eye infection. The sooner this is treated the better so that it does not worsen. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. Please take the time to mark this question as helpful or not as it helps us to improve on the quality of our answers to other pet owners. Thank you kindly!
