Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 9 months old | 13 lbs

Yesterday at 6:00pm, I came here for advice on Tinys eye, it has a little bit of redness on the white parts, and on the eyelids, watery, and squinting on just one eye (Right), he hasn’t gotten worse, but he hasn’t gotten better, but it hasn’t stopped him from being himself. His vet office doesn’t have any appointments available until Friday, what do I do? I’ve been washing it with this and doing warm compresses.

Just keep washing the eyes out with the Microcynah 2-3 times per day until the appointment. That is perfect to use. If you are really worried you could always opt to take him to a different vet for an appointment.
