Hello. It does sound like Zeus is having some kind of allergic reaction. You have done all you can at home, so if he seems to be getting worse, you will absolutely need to see your veterinarian for further treatment. Hopefully, he will start doing better soon. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

The lesion on Zeus’s eyelid is quite prominent. It’s pretty unusual for these lesions to pop up overnight and in both eyes. Given his very young age and how suddenly they occurred, I would be most suspicious of an infection rather than other benign or malignant masses. Ultimately, Zeus needs to be examined by his vet, as this is most likely an issue that requires prescription medication. If Zeus is able to comfortably open and close his eyes without any squinting, redness, or rubbing/scratching of his eyes, then you can have him examined by your vet in the next day or two. However, if he’s bothered by his eyes, you’ll need to have him examined more urgently, possibly by an emergency vet. Until his appointment, be sure to prevent him from scratching or rubbing at his eyes by using an ecollar (cone). You can also apply warm washcloth compresses to both eyes 3-4 times per day until his appointment, as this may provide a bit of temporary relief. I hope that Zeus is on the mend soon!
