Hello, I've recently noticed that Eddys left eye will open and that his right eye won't open for a little bit, but it eventually does. Every time I try to take a photo his eye finally opens, should I be worried? Is a likely a swollen eye or is it probably something irritating it? When I spray water it helps. Is a swollen eye caused by irritation or sickness?
Thanks!

If it were sickness both eyes would be involved. It could be a scratch, or a bit of substrate in there, who knows. You can buy some soothing ointment for it:

Either one or the other, you don't need both.

You can put a dab on the eyelid (because he'll close his eye when he sees it coming) then gently rub it in a bit and leave it there.
