For the last few days now, we noticed that George wasn't opening his left eye, We naturally gave him a bath and he sure enough opened it. However it looks more sunken than his left and his eye lid looks as though he has damaged it?

Each day the same, he doesn't open it until we bath him. A few hours later, he has closed it again. He is scratching it with his leg so i am inclined to think it is irritating him.

it isn't red, nor does it look infected. Should i just continue with the regular eye baths. No other symptoms at all. He goes about his usual business of eating, sleeping, pooping.

He has probably scratched it. You can buy either one of these soothing ointments to help relieve the pain:
