    PLEASE HELP!! eye problems!!

    hi guys. please help shed some light on what the heck is going on with my ball’s eyes!! he is just shy of two years old, no prior health problems, still eating, drinking, shedding with no issues. over the last two weeks, his eyes look as though they are literally fading away. his pupils appear to be sticking up off his eye, and they are turning blue around the edges. this literally came out of nowhere and i have zero idea what is going on but every worry in the world. nothing has changed personality-wise either. pictures are attached.
    thanks in advance.

    Infection maybe? Looks weird.

    Until you can get him to a vet try to get some Vetericyn ophthalmic gel. Amazon sells it.

    My best guess is some sort of infection too. Is it both eyes or just one?

    Definitely needs a vet - it almost looks as if someone has removed the spectacle over the eye and infection has set in.
