I tried to remove it with a wet qtip and wasn't able to move it but it did get lighter. Tomorrow I will try using saline to clean the eye and see if that helps.
Let us know what it looks like after another cleaning. There are a few eye medicines at feed stores such as Vetericyn eye gel and Terramycin eye ointment that can be used twice a day ifit seems like an infection.
I went out early this morning and took a look at his eye and it looked good as new. Whatever it was he must have gotten the rest out himself. Thank you for your help!
