Help please. I recently adopted this big guy and shortly after noticed he was rubbing this eye a lot. At first I decided to watch it and see how it would do over a day or two and it looked as though it was going away. When I was out feeding him a few days ago he was rubbing again, and I noticed it was back. I have an appointment for him to see the vet on Tuesday but I wanted to get an idea of what is wrong now and if there’s anything I can do to help him until then. It’s just this one eye. His other is perfectly fine and he does not have any discharge from his nose.
Is this something antibiotics will fix or could he lose his eye? I’m very worried.

Try to flush it with saline. . . not the easiest thing to do, I know! Buy some Vetericyn eye ointment either online or at your pet store, if they stock it. Put some on his eye twice a day
