Hello again!
upon my morning routine, I noticed my boy had a little raw piece of skin right by the corner of his eye where he had some crust from a URI.

it’s not actively bleeding, but red from being raw I think there was a piece of crust I couldn’t see that he rubbed off, what can I do to make sure it doesn’t get irritated ?
 
Here is an image. It’s in the corner towards his nose.

I would advise keeping an eye on it now the crust has come off it could clear up. Just make sure it doesn't look redder or inflamed or get bigger... if so get to vet.

Thank you. I have antibacterial eye drops. Would it be okay to use them on his eye? I have it from a previous eye infected scratch from one of my pigs.

You would need to contact your vet
