where manny got a scratch across his eye and his eye lids were swollen they seem to have scabbed up and stuck togeather, i've tried to help him open it with a warm wet cotton bud but have had no joy. shall I keep trying to help him open his eye or should I leave it to happen naturally?

no, i would personally say its better to keep on trying to open his eye, making sure the cotton bud it quite wet, eventually it should open up.
i may be wrong but i believe that the longer his eye remains closed, the more likely infection will set in? maybe someone else can clear this up for me but im sure im right?!
the last thing you need is him to get an infection as it may lead to something much worse, even the removal of the eye itself.
if you have no luck, maybe phone your local vet and see what he/ she recommends.
its good that it seems to be scabbing over though!!!
