I think Terry may be right...their eyes can be affected by the subtrate or even being around dust. Our 8 yr. old had a problem with a closed eye. He was exposed to some saw dust The vet suggested rinsing with saline solution used for contacts. It cleared up within hours. If that doesn't help w/in a day, I agree with Terry, off to the vet. Fresh, clean water is important. Our two turn away from their water if it's dirty. We have want they refer to a Santa Ana winds here right now and their water gets dirty with leaves and dirt. Once cleaned out, the male especially takes long drinks.
