there's a big dent in that eye. that suggests dehydration or low humidity... when my BP had a stuck eye cap, the only thing i tried was soaking, then letting him rub the towel... it didn't help me either. i didn't dare try to remove it myself in such a sensitive area, so i took him straight to the vet..
the vet said it took 3 soaks, then finally she manually removed it... and in the pic, the eye definitely still looks cloudy, so i'm fairly confident that it's an eye cap.. those things loooove our little BP eyes
best of luck to youi hope he's okay
