Chinchilla has a eye infection what can I do for him?

Could this be an eye infection?

• My son is a year in a half and he woke up friday (12/23/11) with a lot of eye boogers in his right eye and it looked really watery and low so at first i thought it could be pink eye but started to notice that he wouldnt itch it not once so than i thought it was maybe air in his eyes but the next day it seemed to have gone into his left eye and it got worse and worse in both eyes to where when he wakes up from his naps his eyes are sealed shut with eye boogers and i have to open them for him. once again he doesnt rub them at all thats why i dont think it is pink eye so could it be an infection in his eye or air in his eyes? his eyes are also starting to get red and a lil swollen!! {not his eye ball, the skin around his eye}

• Answer:

  This is an eye infection. You need to get all the stuff out when he wakes up and get eye drops from the doctors
