It's nothing. . . sort of like the matter you get in your eyes upon waking in the a.m. You can take a moistened tissue and wipe it away. You may see it sometimes if he's a bit dehydrated.

I wouldn’t worry about rushing to the vet, just looks like a bit of eye gunk, keep an eye on if it’s keep’s happening, if it’s a one off, don’t worry🙂

Does you have a good soak routine?

Zola used to have problems with sticky stuff in his eyes years ago, and now I wipe them every morning with a cottonwool pad moistened with cooled boiled water - he has never had any problems since then,but I like to do it, just in case.
