My buckling (4weeks) tore one of his eyelids. My question is if this warrants a vet visit & what a vet could do for him? Or if not, should I give him a medicated eye drop to prevent infection? Maybe the same type of stuff you would give for pinkeye?

So we went to the vet on Monday. Shot of antibiotics and that’s was it. He said that it wouldn’t be worth the stress to suture it and that they would probably pop out anyways.

I didn’t even ask. Honestly he will just end up a weatherer so I’m not to concerned if it looks weird. His eye duct is clear and everything seems to function like it should.
