Any eye issue warrants a vet exam. Since it is one eye it is more likely there is an injury to the cornea than an infection. I recommend you take him to the vet but if you want to try something for a few days you can use this eye gel. If in 2-3 days after starting it he is not better he definitely needs to see a vet. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetericyn-plus-antimicrobial-pet-ophthalmic-gel

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! This likely represents self-trauma from him scratching at it. This may be due to allergies if associated with itchiness. You can consider using an e-collar to prevent further self-trauma in the meantime. It really comes down to figuring out what is causing his allergies so that they can be treated or the specific allergen avoided. There are many things that can cause allergies though in most cases they can be broken down into 3 big categories: flea, food and environmental allergies. Allergies are usually worked up in a stepwise fashion starting with flea allergies as this is the easiest and cheapest to take care of. If not on a flea preventative, then it would be a good idea to get started on one. If already on one then it would be a good idea to change to something else (there are many new products out in the market). If not improved in 1-3 months then it is time to move on and check for food allergies by switching to a novel diet (new protein and

Without seeing the eyes myself it is hard to say what the problem could be. She is 15 years old so there are many diseases of the eyes that could be happening. You can try this ophthalmic gel in the eyes once to twice a day to see if it helps but really, she should see a vet. I understand times are hard but you can't let her suffer. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetericyn-plus-antimicrobial-pet-ophthalmic-gel There are some low cost clinics in your area. I think you should try to get her in for an exam. Also, there are some organizations that can help with veterinary costs. https://www.mdspca.org/veterinary-care/wellness-clinic/ https://bmorehumane.org/adopt/surrender-2/financial-issues-veterinary-costs-food-etc/

Yes, that is pretty normal for this breed. You will have to wipe them 2-3 times per day to avoid a lot of build-up. I would suggest using these wipes: ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/well-and-good-cat-eye-wipes )

The elevation of the third eyelid really just tells me that the eye is uncomfortable, it doesn’t really make a diagnosis. It can be a viral infection, an injury, allergies, or others. I would warm compress the eye several times a day, as well as gently rinse with an isotonic saline rinse several times a day. This can be purchased at any pharmacy in the human eye section. If it does not improve or seems to get worse at anytime then she should really be seen to avoid losing the eye. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
