*Sigh* This poor little dude, he can't catch a break. He came to me with an RI (which was cleared, he hasn't shown any signs of RI in about three months since stopping Baytril treatment) and now it looks like he has an eye infection. I'd like some input on what I can do for him; it looks like he's getting fluid over his eye and I'm not sure if it's do to an infection from him rubbing on something or a blocked lacrimal duct? He's been acting normal, eating fine every 5 days on rat pups f/t, on paper towel substrate with a water bowl and two little paper hides, and in QT.

Does it look like I caught it early? Can I do anything for him to relieve some of the mild swelling (warm compress maybe)?
If it's a blocked duct is there a way to see by opening up his mouth? I'll admit I'm not exactly sure where the duct is in the mouth.
If a blocked duct is it the norm to have the blockage removed then give eye drops?

Pics of his "good" eye (he's always had that white line behind the eye, I never thought it to be detrimental. If you have input on that please LMK, he's never had stuck eye caps with me):






Any input/suggestions would be wonderful before contacting my vet, I've never dealt with any eye issues so I'm open to learn.
